All of our students, past and present, can experience the power of our network through the Kate Scheme, our cultural ethos of continual learning that is manifested in a mentoring programme for life.
In school, you will realise your potential to support and learn from others, whether that is reading with a younger student, engaging in academic coaching or training as a pastoral peer support lead.
Our alumnae are changing the world, and they are working hard to ensure our students are on the right path to join them. We are creating an ever-growing network of female leaders who use their proficiency and expertise to lift students’ and fellow alumnae’s aspirations and self-belief in order to guide them in applying for the placement, to go for the promotion, to ask for a pay rise.
We support this mission by providing regular access to professional networking opportunities, with a focus on specific industries such as law, media or finance. We also provide a one-to-one mentor-matching service whatever stage you’re at – whether as a university graduate seeking advice from an early career professional, or when you’re ready for promotion and need guidance from someone who has been there and done that. We create positive, encouraging, female-only spaces for women to amplify and elevate each other’s success.
The Kate Scheme is changing the narrative around aspiration and success, where mentoring others replaces competing with others. What a world our alumnae are forging and what a powerful movement to be a part of!
