Caterham School is an independent co-educational HMC day and boarding school for pupils aged 3 – 18 years. We aim to provide an inspirational all-round education which combines academic excellence with a wealth of co-curricular opportunities. All our students go on to Higher Education. Our academic track record places us among the top schools in the country.




one of the top ten independent co-educational day & boarding schools in England (A*-B grade results - The Times 2014)
However, we do not believe that raw results alone show the true measure of a school. We are committed to the individual needs and enthusiasms of each child. It is far more important that each individual achieves his or her very best. A truly excellent education is about much more than academic achievement alone: it is also about developing a passion for learning, capacity for independent thinking, moral values, self-confidence without arrogance, and a broad range of interests that extend beyond the confines of the classroom. In short, it is developing the whole person, to ensure that each pupil leaves here ready for the challenges that lie ahead at university and beyond. It is an education for life.
