Welcome

St. Katherine’s School is a co-educational comprehensive school for young people aged 11-19 years, offering students a unique learning environment often only experienced in the independent sector. We are situated on the edge of Bristol, only 2 miles from the Clifton Suspension Bridge, located in a beautiful rural environment. The school is relatively small, with just under 1000 students and benefits from strong transport links being just off one of the main arterial routes to Bristol and close to the M5.

Students at St. Katherine’s come from a wide variety of schools with 70% of students coming from Bristol primaries. The May 2011 Ofsted Report describes our school as "a good school that provides a good quality of education with outstanding provision for students’ care, guidance and support. The school community is extremely harmonious and students were keen to let inspectors know how they enjoy school as well as saying they feel extremely safe and well cared for. Links with parents and carers are fostered extremely well and they are highly supportive."

Continued academic success and outstanding Ofsted report has meant graduation as a High Performing Specialist School and Lead School for Gifted and Talented, building on excellent work as a Science College since 2003. St Katherine’s is the first secondary school in the UK to gain the Gold Award on the Food for Life Programme and is a flagship school and community. The majority of our students stay on in the outstanding sixth form achieving excellent results at A Level. St. Katherine’s offers all sixth form students the chance to flourish and develop essential life skills. Having enjoyed an extensive and flexible choice of subjects for A Level and BTEC courses, many go on to higher education, including redbrick universities, across the UK.
