First Day of Term for Year 7 (2026 cohort) – Wednesday 2 September 2026

The welcome evening, familiarisation and taster days, will give you and your child the information and confidence needed ahead of starting at St Catherine's College. We know there are often lots of questions about starting secondary school, and you might even be feeling a little nervous, which is perfectly natural. In addition to the information already shared, you may also find this website useful: Starting secondary school - BBC Bitesize

If you have any questions or queries, please do not hesitate to contact us via admissions@stcatherines.college and we will come back to you.

Are you a family with a child going into Year 6 in September 2026? Are you considering St Catherine's College for your child's education in September 2027? If so, we would love to welcome you to our Open Evening!
