CATS Schools Rebrand

CATS UK SCHOOLS REBRANDING

 

Since 1952, CATS Cambridge, CATS Canterbury and CATS London have delivered high-quality teaching to students from around the world. 

Over the last 70 years, our CATS UK schools have developed three distinct educational experiences to fit the many different needs of its students.  As they celebrated their past and looked to the future, the exciting decision was made to rebrand the three schools. This rebrand has been undertaken to better showcase the unique student experience and the individual school communities the students and staff are so proud to be a part of

From the 12th October, CATS Canterbury has been rebranded The Worthgate School. CATS London has been rebranded as Guildhouse School, London. CATS Cambridge will continue to carry the heritage of the CATS name. However, its logo and brand colours have changed.

Our new school websites are live and can be accessed from this page. We have also included an FAQ of the bottom of the page to answer any of your questions. Questions can also be sent to your local CATS Global Schools Student Recruitment Manager or our admissions team at admissons@catsglobalschools.com

Their mission is to unlock potential, to set students on a path to realise their aspirations, and to prepare them for that journey so they can navigate all the opportunities and challenges that life casts their way.
