Building Confidence, Character and Champions

Welcome to Caterham Judo Academy

The Caterham Judo Academy is a thriving programme that provides students with the opportunity to learn, develop and excel in one of the world's most respected Olympic sports. Led by Mr Turan Kiani, Transition & Sports Co-ordinator and experienced judo coach, the academy provides a clear pathway from school participation into community and competitive judo.

Through regular training, competitions, leadership opportunities and personal development, students gain far more than sporting skills. Judo helps young people develop confidence, resilience, self-discipline, respect and determination, qualities that positively impact both academic achievement and personal wellbeing.
