St Catherine's School, Bramley

St Catherine's School Bramley was founded in 1885 by Edith Carr as a small Church of England girls' boarding school in the Surrey village of Bramley, in the Surrey Hills just south of Guildford. The school sits today on a 30-acre rural campus in Bramley, with views across the Surrey Weald. The school is girls-only ages 4-18 with around 838 pupils and a substantial boarding population. The Headmistress is Alice Phillips. The school is a member of the GSA and the Boarding Schools Association and is inspected by the ISI.

The school's academic profile is top-quintile Surrey girls' boarding school, with strong A-Level results and a particularly strong sciences and medical-schools pipeline. The school's geographic position in the Surrey Hills produces a balanced day and boarding population, with day-pupil families from across the Surrey commuter belt and boarders drawn from across the UK and internationally.

The school operates a substantial bursary programme via the St Catherine's School Trust, intended to provide educational access for Surrey families regardless of family means. The school maintains traditional GSA girls' school co-curricular activities — lacrosse, netball, tennis, music, drama — alongside a particularly strong music and choral tradition.
