Year 7 Reflections 🌟 As our Year 7 students complete their first half term at Caterham High School, it’s wonderful to hear how they are settling into school life, building friendships and getting involved in the wider opportunities on offer. One student shared: “I feel very good about myself because I know where my rooms are and I’ve got into the football team and cross-country team. I’ve made so many friends at CHS, and the teachers are really kind.” Moments like these remind us how important a positive start to secondary school is. We are incredibly proud of the confidence, resilience and enthusiasm our Year 7 students have shown during their first half term.

Year 7 Reflections after the First Half Term Starting secondary school can feel daunting, especially when it comes to making new friends and finding your place. One of our Year 7 students reflected on how those early worries have been replaced with confidence, friendship and a real sense of belonging. “I was worried about making friends, but now I have people around me who support me. I’ve settled into my form, enjoy being part of the school community and I’m having a great time so far.” It’s fantastic to hear how students are building friendships, growing in confidence and embracing all that secondary school has to offer.

On Tuesday, we were delighted to welcome Female International Chess Master, Shamima Akter, to Caterham as part of a visit organised by the Chess for Schools Association. Shamima spent the afternoon working with our aspiring young chess players, sharing her expertise, experiences and passion for the game. Students had the opportunity to develop their skills, learn new strategies and gain valuable insights from someone who has competed at the highest level. It was a fantastic afternoon that was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Thank you to Shamima and the Chess for Schools Association for such an inspiring visit. ♟️

Deepfakes can make it appear that someone has said or done something they haven’t, using AI to create increasingly convincing fake images, videos and audio. As this technology becomes easier to access, children and young people may encounter risks ranging from online bullying and impersonation to scams and fabricated explicit content. Our latest guide explores: • AI-enabled bullying • Cloned voices and fake family scams • Bogus celebrity endorsements • Fabricated images and videos • Extortion and digital blackmail It also offers practical advice for parents and educators on recognising warning signs, protecting personal information and talking to young people about responsible AI use.

Attendance is not optional - It is the difference between falling behind and moving ahead. When students miss school, they do not just miss lessons - they miss learning. Even a few days off quickly add up, and the impact is real: 📉 Students with poor attendance are far more likely to drop a grade - or several at GCSE and Sixth Form. 📈 Students who attend regularly achieve higher results, stronger progress and leave with more choices for their future. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents & Carers: Every absence matters. Strong attendance now protects your child’s long term success - their grades, their confidence and their future pathways. 🎒 Students: Your future is being built right now. Every lesson you attend moves you closer to your goals. Every lesson you miss puts obstacles in your way. Show up. Stay focused. Protect your chances. Excellent attendance is the expectation, not the exception. Your grades. Your future. Your move.
