From the Caterham High School
For more than 60 years, Caterham High has served as the hub of the neighbourhood, offering all students who enrol in our bustling institution a first-rate education.
We have high expectations for our pupils and push them to achieve in everything they do.
We take pride in offering an excellent learning atmosphere where every student can reach their full potential.
Being a six-form entry school, we are very familiar with our pupils, able to meet their specific requirements, and provide both great pastoral and academic support.
Our relationships with home schools are quite solid.
In order for pupils to achieve their full potential, it is critical that parents, carers, and the school collaborate effectively.
To make sure students make good development, we regularly check their performance, create goals, and have conversations with the students, parents, and carers.
As students advance through the school from Year 7 to Year 13, we have an expanding and responsive curriculum designed to increase choice and opportunity for them.
ICT is used throughout the school to bring the curriculum to life and to inspire and engage students in their learning. Our teaching is innovative and demanding in both topic and delivery.
Caterham High is a school that excels in several areas.
I welcome all parents and carers to stop by the school and see for yourselves what a beautiful learning environment we have.
