Caterham Named As Top Cricketing School

The Cricketer has named Caterham as a UK top performing cricketing school in its annual Schools Guide. In celebration of the award, the Cricketer website will carry an interview with Mr Jonathan Batty, Caterham’s Master in Charge of Cricket next month.

The selection follows an exhaustive process which saw a record number of schools submit entries to be included. All entries were judged against an extensive set of criteria, which included a compelling commitment to cricket in the curriculum, facilities, fixture programmes and coaching.

The Cricketer magazine editor Simon Hughes said: “This year’s Schools Guide is particularly important in showcasing schools who have kept the game alive through a very challenging summer. Whether it has been remote video sessions, drills in the garden or even Zoom quizzes, schools cricket has emerged resolutely from this pandemic and the appetite to get back out on the playing fields is palpable.”
