Caterham School

In their own words

One of the top co-educational schools in England.

Learning at Caterham School is an exciting adventure, full of opportunities for personal development, achievement and enjoyment. We believe that all of our pupils can be successful in an environment which is caring, optimistic and encouraging. Our results are testament to the uniquely supportive environment that is Caterham’s hallmark.

Caterham is a happy school which provides an atmosphere which supports pupils and enables their success, their development of character and wellbeing. Our supportive environment ensures that by the time Caterhamians leave school they are intellectually curious and emotionally intelligent thinkers, eager to engage with the world around them.

The Harestone Valley, set in the Surrey Hills, provides a stunning location for the School’s extensive campus. The School benefits from 200 acres including sports fields, woodland, high ropes course and outdoor learning centre. Facilities matter because they enable the best teaching and learning to take place. At Caterham we benefit from inspiring Victorian architecture complimented with purpose built facilities including our science complex, a Sports Centre with indoor pool, fitness centre and double space sports hall, a new Centre for Performing Arts encompassing two theatres and a dance studio, the Maggs Library and a dedicated Digital Innovation Centre.

The admissions process uses the online ISEB Common Pre Test (sometimes referred to as the Common Entrance Exam). This exam has a specific format and structure, includes a range of predictable questions types and is taken in an online/computer environment. Students should pay particular attention to the Non-Verbal and Verbal-Reasoning modules, as these sections may include question types they have never encountered before.
