Year 7 Transition Programme

Judo 1

Welcome to Caterham High School! We are so delighted that your child will be joining us in September.

We understand how important a successful transition will be to your child and to you. Therefore, our aim is to make this transition exciting and informative, but also to use this time to get to know your child.

Please see the links below to our welcome booklet, where you will find further information about the school and the transition process.

We have one key transition event, which will take place on Thursday 2nd July 2026 - Borough Transition Day where your child will visit the school for a “Taster Day” - details of timings etc to follow, and a Parental Administration meeting on the same day from 3pm onwards, where you will meet a member of staff and complete admissions paperwork.

This is where your child gets to the opportunity to spend the day with us in school, taking part in taster lessons and getting a full secondary school experience.

Students will also begin to make new friends and to become familiar with Caterham High School’s campus. This will help them to feel happy and confident about starting with us in September.

This will be followed by an individual transition interview with families and their child. The interview will be with senor staff from 3pm. We will complete paperwork and give you the opportunity to tell us about any important information or significant needs your child may have.

Transition Senior Leadership Lead: Ms Cassettari:

I would like to introduce Ms Cassettari (Assistant Head in charge of transitions). She will be working with you to ensure transition is successful, and should you have any queries please do contact Ms Cassettari: email address: V.Cassettari@ecaterham.net

Finally, if for any reason you are considering not taking up the place you have been offered, we would be grateful if you could let the Local Authority Admissions Team know as soon as possible. This will allow the place to be offered to another family on our waiting list.

We offer a very warm welcome at Caterham High and are looking forward to meeting you and your child!
