🥋 British Schools Championships – Outstanding Performances 🥋 Our students delivered an excellent set of performances at the British Schools Championships this weekend, finishing second overall for adaptive judo in the country. We look forward to welcoming our champions back to school tomorrow. Our students showed real determination and resilience, securing victories across different stages of the competition. We are incredibly proud of all students for the commitment, courage and sportsmanship they demonstrated while representing the school. Thank you to all the CHS staff who helped prepare and support our students in the run up to this weekend and over the weekend. @britishjudo Resilience Determination TeamEffort

🚨 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.

📚✨ World Book Day✨📚 Today our students and staff came together to celebrate World Book Day - a wonderful reminder of the magic that lives inside every book. From character costumes and shared stories to reading challenges and classroom activities, it has been a whole week filled with imagination, curiosity and joy. At our school, reading sits at the heart of everything we do. We believe that books open doors: to new worlds, new ideas and new possibilities. Seeing our community embrace that spirit today was truly inspiring. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped bring stories to life. Here’s to fostering a love of reading - today and every day! 📖💛

CHS Adaptive Judo Team heading to the National School Finals! 🏆💪 Join us in wishing our amazing team the very best of luck as they head into this weekend’s National School Finals! 🏆💪 We are also thrilled to share that Antares Global Limited has become an official sponsor of the CHS Adaptive Judo Team, in partnership with TKJ Judo Club. Thanks to their incredible generosity, Antares have funded brand new tracksuits for every member of our adaptive team. 🙌🥋 Last Friday, representatives from Antares visited CHS to meet our inspiring athletes in person and present them with their new tracksuits. It was a fantastic moment that truly celebrated inclusion, determination and community spirit. A huge thank you to Antares for their support - it means the world to our students and our programme. 💙 Let’s go, CHS! 👏🔥

This week, Elisabella proudly represented Caterham High School at the Redbridge Regional Final of the Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge. The event brought together talented young speakers from across the borough, each delivering powerful and thought provoking speeches to a packed audience. Elisabella impressed both judges and spectators with a confident, engaging delivery and a message that resonated with fellow students. Taking to the stage in such a high profile competition is an achievement in itself, and we are incredibly proud of the dedication, courage and hard work that Elisabella displayed. The Jack Petchey Speak Out Challenge is the largest speaking competition for young people in the UK, designed to help students develop their confidence, communication skills and belief in their own voice. To reach the regional final is a significant accomplishment and a testament to Elisabella’s commitment to speaking up and speaking out. PublicSpeaking
