Year 12 students had an exciting and unique opportunity to take part in a Have I Got Fake News for You? quiz, which took part at the Houses of Parliament. Their opponents were made up of Kirsty Blackman MP, Cathy Newman, Channel 4 News, Baroness Carmen Smith and Stephen Bush from the Financial times. The students were amazing and won the competition securing a trophy. Wes Streeting, Secretary of State for Health and Social care popped along to congratulate the students together with Matthew Goddin, Local Councillor and Chief of Staff for Wes Streeting. Students were then treated to a tour around the houses of parliament and witnessed Speaker Lindsay Hoyle entering the House of Commons with his entourage who were carrying a large mace. Congratulations to the students on winning.

They say a picture’s worth a thousand words and when it comes to emojis, that’s often true 📲😄💬 But in the wrong context, these innocent-seeming icons can take on a whole new meaning, sometimes hinting at things that aren’t as light-hearted as they appear. This week’s guide breaks down some of the slang and symbols young people use online and explains how some could be masking real issues, from bullying and exclusion to harmful behaviours🥀🐍. With our handy cheat sheet and top tips, adults can keep pace with this ever-changing digital language 📖✨

Thanks to Canon UK for giving some students in year 10 the opportunity to be part of their Young Peoples' Programme. The students were tasked with taking a photo using equipment from Canon, on the theme of Equality. The students had to write and present a short brief about the story for the photo.

As "Thank a Teacher Day" approaches on Wednesday 18th June 2025, we wanted to reach out and encourage you to take a moment to reflect on the incredible impact teachers and staff have on our children's lives. Think back to your own school days. Is there a particular teacher who stands out? Perhaps someone who ignited a passion for a subject you still love, offered a word of encouragement that changed your perspective, or simply made you feel seen and valued during a challenging time. These are the individuals who create academic journeys fostering a life-long love of learning but also build confident, respectful and principled young people that will shape our future communities and society. At Caterham High School we are very proud of our teachers who strive to provide quality education and a safe, nurturing and "family" environment for all students and young people. "Thank a Teacher Day" provides a wonderful opportunity to show our appreciation for the hard work of staff and teachers. We would love for you to join us in celebrating our amazing staff and teachers. We encourage you to visit the official "Thank a Teacher" website at https://thankateacher.co.uk/thank-a.../thank-a-teacher-form/ Through this platform, you can send a free thank you e-card and personal message directly to a member of staff or teacher who has made a difference in your child's life. A simple message of thanks can go a long way. Let's come together as a school community to acknowledge and celebrate the exceptional staff and teachers who make such a profound difference in the lives of our children. Thank you for your continued support

WUW - Violent Content - Email Header Around 70% of teenagers say they’ve seen real-life violence on social media in the past year. Violent content online isn’t just something young people are occasionally stumbling across – in many cases, it’s becoming a routine part of their digital world 📱. From fights 🥊 and stabbings 🗡️ to toxic ideologies ☣️, disturbing videos are often just a click away on social media or group chats. This week’s guide highlights the unseen risks this poses to children’s mental health 🧠, sense of safety 🛡️, and social behaviours. With insights from a leading expert 👩‍🏫, it offers practical ways for parents and educators to respond with empathy 💞 and support 🤝 – not punishment or panic 🚫.

Students from Years 7 to 9 had a unique opportunity to explore a Metropolitan Police vehicle, learn how it operates, try on various police uniforms, and even experience being handcuffed. 👮‍♂️
