Caterham is an EdTech 50 and an Apple Distinguished School, winner of the TES ‘Best Use of Digital’ award and the first UK school to be awarded the National Children’s Bureau’s Wellbeing for Schools Award.

Our progressive approach to learning and teaching, our focus on embracing the best of technology, combined with the strength and warmth of our school community, makes Caterham a unique place in which to work. Caterham is a school which supports its teachers to progress and play a full part in our pupils’, and the school’s, achievements.
