🎓 Caterham High School - Small Enough to Care, Big Enough to Inspire 🌟🌟

At Caterham High, we put children at the heart of everything we do. As a small, highly inclusive school, we are proud to create an environment where every student feels safe, supported and inspired to succeed.

💬 A Transition That Truly Cares

Starting secondary school is a big step, and we’re here every step of the way. From visits to feeder primary schools to our engaging Transition Day and welcoming September induction programme, we ensure every student settles in with confidence.

💙 Pastoral Support That Makes a Difference

Our dedicated team ensures every child is known, valued and supported. With initiatives such as breakfast clubs, enrichment days and team building opportunities, we build a strong sense of belonging for all.

🌈 Inclusive by Design

We are proud of our highly inclusive ethos, with carefully planned provision to support students of all abilities. With designated spaces, tailored routines and a nurturing approach, we help every child thrive.

Returning to school after a break can be a significant adjustment for children and young people, particularly when routines, concentration and social confidence need time to rebuild.

Our latest guide supports families, carers and education professionals with practical ways to make the transition smoother.

The guide explores:
• Restoring sleep and morning routines gradually
• Creating predictability through clear expectations
• Preparing school essentials in advance
• Encouraging responsibility in age-appropriate ways
• Supporting healthy nutrition, wellbeing and self-regulation
• Reconnecting with learning, friendships and familiar routines

With expert insight from Adam Gillett, Associate Vice Principal for Personal Development at Pen*stone Grammar School, this resource offers supportive ideas to help children return to school feeling more confident and prepared.
