Since our last edition the winter has thrown everything at us from mild October to bitter January but the St Cat’s spirit remains undaunted and the achievements - both personal and for teams or groups - remarkable in every area from academic to extra-curricular. Please follow our social media channels, see it all for yourselves and help us spread the word (Instagram @stcatsbramley, Facebook @stcatherinesbramley and Twitter @stcatsbramley).

St Catherine’s Day was its traditional self once again in every element but nowadays with three lacrosse tournaments to enable even more girls to represent their Houses in U3/L4 (won by Musgrave), U4/L5 (won by Russell Baker) and U5-U6 (won by Stoner).

Lucy Johnstone (2006) Head of Entertainment and Partner Marketing at Sky, gave the End-ofTerm Lecture in December; the London Network resumed live events at Lloyd’s of London; Lord of the Flies was an outstanding Senior School Production in February and our Association Choir is in full rehearsal now for Carmina Burana in March.

In the Prep School the academic year is very much in full swing and girls were delighted to return to their full House Gym and Dance competition on St Catherine’s Day and are currently preparing songs on the theme of ‘friendship’ for our House Singing competition. Good luck Curie, Pankhurst and Teresa. Cookery has been introduced in the Prep School with a refurbishment of the Art and DT room to include a designated kitchen area. Girls are enjoying this addition to the timetable. We are also very proud to have been awarded the Primary Science Quality Mark in recognition of the impressive teaching and learning in this area. This award also recognises the partnership work that we have undertaken with local primary schools to promote science learning.
