About Caterham High School

Caterham High School in Redbridge holds a Good rating from Ofsted, and its strongest academic story is at sixth form. In the 2023/24 academic year, A-level students achieved an average grade of A across their best three subjects, with points per entry also graded at A. The school’s A-level value added score of 0.3 places it in the ‘Above average’ progress banding, meaning students typically leave with better results than their prior attainment would predict. Over half of A-level entries (52.2%) were graded AAB or higher. At GCSE level, the picture is more mixed: the Attainment 8 score sits at 16.8, and the EBacc average point score is 0.81. No pupils entered the EBacc combination of subjects, and the school does not report Progress 8 data, making direct comparison with the local authority average of 0.59 impossible for that measure.
