As "Thank a Teacher Day" approaches on Wednesday 18th June 2025, we wanted to reach out and encourage you to take a moment to reflect on the incredible impact teachers and staff have on our children's lives.
Think back to your own school days. Is there a particular teacher who stands out? Perhaps someone who ignited a passion for a subject you still love, offered a word of encouragement that changed your perspective, or simply made you feel seen and valued during a challenging time. These are the individuals who create academic journeys fostering a life-long love of learning but also build confident, respectful and principled young people that will shape our future communities and society.
At Caterham High School we are very proud of our teachers who strive to provide quality education and a safe, nurturing and "family" environment for all students and young people.
"Thank a Teacher Day" provides a wonderful opportunity to show our appreciation for the hard work of staff and teachers.
We would love for you to join us in celebrating our amazing staff and teachers. We encourage you to visit the official "Thank a Teacher" website at https://thankateacher.co.uk/thank-a-teacher/thank-a-teacher-form/
Through this platform, you can send a free thank you e-card and personal message directly to a member of staff or teacher who has made a difference in your child's life. A simple message of thanks can go a long way.
Let's come together as a school community to acknowledge and celebrate the exceptional staff and teachers who make such a profound difference in the lives of our children.
Thank you for your continued support@Caterham.High.School
