🌍✨ Culture Day Celebration ✨🌍 Last week, we proudly celebrated Culture Day and the rich diversity that makes our community so special. From sharing traditional foods and music to learning about different customs and traditions, the day was a wonderful opportunity to come together, celebrate our differences and appreciate the values that unite us. The event was a fantastic example of The Caterham Way in action - showing respect, belonging, curiosity and a genuine appreciation for one another. Our students embraced the opportunity to learn from different cultures, broaden their perspectives, and celebrate the unique stories that make our community stronger. A huge thank you to everyone (especially our Sixth Form student leadership team) who contributed their time, knowledge and enthusiasm to make the day such a success. We are proud to be part of a community where every culture is valued, respected and celebrated. 🌎❤️

Amplified Youth Conference 2026 Caterham High School was proud to attend the Amplified Youth Conference, a celebration of the achievements and talents of SEND students from across Redbridge. Held at Cineworld Ilford, the event showcased the incredible accomplishments of young people who continue to inspire their communities. Representing Caterham were our outstanding Adaptive Judo Team, who demonstrated the power of inclusion, resilience, and teamwork, along with our talented singing sensation Aairah, who delivered a fantastic performance that captivated the audience. We were also delighted to celebrate Terianne, who received an award in recognition of her dedication and commitment to supporting our Adaptive Judo Club. Terianne regularly gives up her own free time to assist and encourage younger students, making a real difference to their confidence, development and enjoyment of the sport. Congratulations to all the young people involved in this wonderful event. We are incredibly proud of the way they represented Caterham High School and embodied our values of inclusion, perseverance and community spirit. 🎉🥋🎤🏆

Attendance is not optional - It is the difference between falling behind and moving ahead. When students miss school, they do not just miss lessons - they miss learning. Even a few days off quickly add up, and the impact is real: 📉 Students with poor attendance are far more likely to drop a grade - or several at GCSE and Sixth Form. 📈 Students who attend regularly achieve higher results, stronger progress and leave with more choices for their future. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents & Carers: Every absence matters. Strong attendance now protects your child’s long term success - their grades, their confidence and their future pathways. 🎒 Students: Your future is being built right now. Every lesson you attend moves you closer to your goals. Every lesson you miss puts obstacles in your way. Show up. Stay focused. Protect your chances. Excellent attendance is the expectation, not the exception. Your grades. Your future. Your move.
