Headmaster Julian Thomas said: ‘’We are thrilled to receive such a positive report from Ofsted as Boarding is such an important aspect of Caterham School. Not only do the Boarding students outperform many of the day pupils in exams, they also add so much to the life of the school. I was particularly pleased that Ofsted commended us for our pro active approach towards ensuring the safety and welfare of the pupils, and they acknowledged that this remains one of our top priorities. We provide extensive training to our staff and their professional expertise and dedication ensures that pupils have access to the highest possible standards of pastoral care.’’
