On Tuesday 7 May this event is for families considering St Helen and St Katharine for their daughters for Year 7 entry in 2025 and 2026.
Prospective students and their parents will have an exciting opportunity to tour the School and its outstanding facilities and to see our Year 7 and Year 8 lessons in action. There will also be a presentation from Headmistress Mrs Dougall and the Head of Lower School Mrs Taylor who will discuss life in Year 7, the curriculum, extracurricular activities and pastoral care – and how to apply for a place.

Family visits
Ideally, your first visit to the School would be at our Open Day at least one year prior to entry. Following this, families are warmly welcome to visit us for an individual appointment. Your visit will include a tour of the School and a meeting with a member of the Admissions team. It may also include a meeting with Headmistress Mrs Dougall on request. Meetings with the Headmistress can also take place virtually.
