Welcome to Caterham Prep
Caterham Prep School is an IAPS co-educational day school that is an integral part of Caterham School. Children can begin their education with us in one of our Reception classes and continue through to Year 6 before moving on to senior school. We would love to welcome you for a tour of the school at one of our upcoming Visitor Mornings. See for yourself what makes a Caterham education unique.
Join one of our Working or Themed Visitor Mornings to see us in action!
