Significant events
- “After 25 years of dedicated service, Mrs Alice Phillips has retired as Head of the School. The Governors are delighted to appoint Ms Emma Watson as the new Head of St Catherine's School and look forward with great excitement to this next chapter in the School's journey.”
- “The School provided £1,416k (2024: £1,314k) of assistance in bursaries, scholarships and other awards to a total of 119 (2024: 128) pupils.”
- “The Senior and Preparatory Schools were inspected in October 2023 under the new ISI Inspection Framework 23 and the final report was made available in March 2024. The inspectors found that all relevant standards were met, and inspectors commented on the School's extra-curricular programme and its Alumnae Relations Network as Significant Strengths of the School.”
- “During the year the Phase 1 of the CATalyst project was completed with the cost of £2,355k transferred to Land and Buildings (2024: £nil). An impairment of £90k (2024: £nil) has been recognised in relation to previously capitalised expenditure attached to the School's West Block building upgrade as this project is no longer expected to be taken forward in the foreseeable future.”
