• St Catherine's is compassionate, aspirational and distinctly girl centred, and aims to help pupils grow in confidence, faith and capability.

• Will suit families seeking a girls' school in south-west London where Catholic ethos and individual encouragement go together.

Admissions at St Catherine's School are values led and well suited to families seeking a Catholic girls' day school in Twickenham where continuity, pastoral familiarity and academic encouragement all matter. It should suit parents who value a girls' school environment that feels principled, personal and quietly ambitious rather than showy.

Scholarships and bursaries are a visible part of the St Catherine's offer, including junior, Year 7, senior and sixth-form routes, with means-tested bursaries available for senior-school girls. For families considering entry beyond the earliest years, awards may form a meaningful part of the picture.

The overall picture is faith rooted and purposeful, with a strong emphasis on girls' confidence, community and the recognition of individual talent. Parents should still visit because the decisive question is whether the Catholic ethos, girls-only setting and long-term fit feel right for their daughter.
