On an 80 acre site in a wooded valley of the North Downs, Caterham provides a high standard of education for boys and girls from 3 to 18 with the major entry levels being 3, 7, 11, 13 and in the sixth form. While the Preparatory School (3-11) is a day school, the senior school has both day and boarding pupils throughout.
The school's confidence in the future is evident in the execution of our development plan. The last seven years has seen the opening of a new theatre/assembly hall, a new library, a new 24 classroom teaching block, refurbishment of the science laboratories, a new sports centre with a six lane swimming pool, a new girls' boarding house and the full refurbishment of the IT facilities to meet current cross-curricular needs.
Our academic standards are high with the School ranking 71 on the five year average figures of the Financial Times Survey of A level results. All A level candidates in 1996 qualified for university places with an average of 3.12 passes per pupil. At GCSE the average achievement was 7.5 passes per pupil with 86.5% of pupils gaining passes at grades A-C.
We not only look for high academic standards but for balanced individual development through participation in the wide variety of activities that are available in a day and boarding school. Each pupil has a personal tutor within the House structure who can monitor academic progress and personal development. English day pupils and boarding pupils have the opportunity of enlarging their cultural vision through the European, African and Asian children who come to board at Caterham.
