"Good Experience, but Room for Improvement"

We had a good experience at Caterham Prep, but there were some inconsistencies in the quality of teaching. Our child enjoyed the Performing Arts opportunities and the woodland playgroup. However, we felt that the school could do more to engage parents and keep us informed about their child's progress.
