Caterham Prep School is a vibrant and thriving part of the Caterham family, providing an outstanding education that enables every pupil to achieve his or her maximum potential intellectually, physically and creatively in an ambitious but nurturing environment.
The Caterham School community shares a 200 acre campus in the beautiful Harestone Valley and educates pupils from age 4 to 18. The Prep School is nestled at the far end of the campus, surrounded by its own woodland.
Learning how to learn is a key part of a Caterham education, from the Early Years at the Prep School to the Sixth Form at the Senior School and is, in our view, an essential skill for modern life.
We believe that a truly excellent's chool is about more than academic achievement alone: it is also about developing a passion for learning, a capacity for problem-solving, independent and critical thinking, self-awareness and resilience, self-confidence without arrogance and genuine interests that extend beyond the confines of the classroom.
