Description
Caterham Prep is Independent Primary school in Surrey for kids aged 3 to 11 (Gender - Mixed )
Caterham Prep School is an IAPS co-educational day school that is an integral part of Caterham School. Children can begin their education with us in one of our Reception classes at Pre-Prep and continue through to Year 6. We would love to welcome you for a tour of the school at one of our upcoming Open Mornings.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 school 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.
