A Level records have been re-written at Caterham School with over 70 per cent of results A* or A grades and 92 per cent at A* to B grades.

Almost a third of all grades were the top A* grade and the average holding for a Caterham pupil in 2024 is A, A, A.  15 pupils achieved straight A grades. This summer’s results once again secure the School’s position in the academic premier league of UK schools. 

Ceri Jones, Headmaster, said:

I am thrilled that such a fantastic group of young people have realised their ambitions with this stellar set of results, the strongest in the School’s history. My warmest congratulations go to them, and of course their teachers and families who have supported them throughout. Incredible grades are only one measure of the success they have achieved whilst at Caterham –they have also thrown themselves into every aspect of school life here at Caterham, in the classroom, in creative and artistic performances and on the sports field, and in our important educational partnership work, and deserve to celebrate their significant success. I cannot wait to see what this group of talented young people go on to achieve in their lives and what difference they make to the world around them.  I am proud that our pupils leave Caterham not just with great grades, but also great friendships and memories, a network of support and community that will last a lifetime and a real sense of purpose and confidence about who they are and how to thrive in the years to come.

Copthorne Prep School is part of the award-winning Caterham family of schools and was named as the Times Educational Supplement (Tes) Best UK Independent Senior School in 2023 and has long been recognised for expertise in innovation, digital learning and wellbeing in addition to top academic results.

Independent School Scholarships

Each year independent schools around the country offer financial assistance in the form of scholarships for children who show outstanding potential. A scholarship is therefore a very notable achievement, and we pride ourselves on the number of children at Copthorne Prep who are awarded scholarships at leading independent schools each year.

The scholarship process varies from school to school but typically involves a child demonstrating their ability in one or more disciplines, for example Academically, or in Sport, or Music, or with their Drama followed by an interview.

Scholarships are often linked to bursarial support which are themselves means-tested, and some senior schools can offer up to 100% of the full school fee depending on availability and circumstance.

Moving on From Copthorne Prep

When it is time to leave Copthorne Prep, we want to ensure our children go on to a school that can continue to celebrate their individual learning journey.  We have an excellent reputation for helping children successfully gain entry (many with scholarships) into leading independent schools, and this year is no different with our children receiving scholarships to Brighton College, Sevenoaks, Caterham, Roedean, Reigate Grammar, Worth, Bede’s, and Box Hill to name but a few.

Well done this year to all of our fantastic scholars!
