Caterham High School Caterham Avenue, Ilford IG5 0QW

"Dr Atkins who is the head teacher needs to be changed coz he is like a dictator, he has been the head of the school for over 32 years now. I go to the skl and the students they bare safe, the teachers are very nice and helpful, I think if dr Atkins is changed a lot of changes and improvements will happen in the school because you just can't spend 32 years doing changes, all the changes you thought about doing u already done it. Literally there is detentions for everything like if you are not wearing your blazer in the playground during lunch time u can get a detention, if your late to skl u get a detention and you have to do your finger print so they can catch you if you don't come for the detention, basically it's similar to North Korea. The reason why I didn't give it one star is because most of the teachers there are actually good, and they treat you as if you were their child they give u extra lessons, revision lessons and everything. I just want to thank Mr Koomson, Mr Hammond, Mrs Malik, Mrs Byles, Mrs Sembi, Mr Darr, Mr Jennings, Mr Ali(sociology), Mrs Davis and finally Dr Atkins you need to leave."

"My child currently attends Caterham High School. Sadly the current OFSTED report gives the school a very bad reputation, there's an element of racial profiling in the report. As mentioned in the report, there are more than average students who don't speak English as their first language. This is simply not true, the majority of students at Caterham DO speak english as their first language, it seems as the OFSTED inspector must have been very overwhelmed with the non white students at this school. The only other reason I can think of is, the report has been written in such a way where it deters white parents to send their child/ren to this school. IMHO, Caterham is a decent school , I would recommend all parents in the local area and ares afar to consider this school. The location and facilities at the school are very good. I, as a parent chose Caterham over Beal High School, we had the option for either, my main reason for sending my child to Caterham was , the students. We parked outside Caterham at the end of each day and noticed that the student were very smart and not hanging around the school looking anti social, we had done this over a few random days. Beal High Schools was very anti social IMO. The education level is very good, as my child is doing very well at Caterham. Please do not let the OFSTED report put you off, and have an open mind and send your child/ren to Caterham High School. I really do not understand why Dr Atkins the Head and the staff at Caterham can accept such a damning OFSTED report."

"This school is one of the best schools in the Redbridge bourgh, the teachers are amazing and are super understanding . Parents, I highly recommend this school to your children, as a student personally I can tell you that whatever you have heard about this school, ignore it, the staff are super friendly and the students may be a bit crazy, but Caterham is a school that supports being yourself, but also getting excellent grades Finally I would like to metion that, if you take a look at Beals Google ratings, and compare it to Caterhams rating, there is a drastic difference between the two, this is because caterham doesn't act perfect infront of osfed unlike Beal. Thank you for taking your time for reading my comment and I hope that you consider caterham high school for your childs future education"
