Ceri Jones, Headmaster, commented: “In any year this success would be remarkable but in 2021 it demonstrates not only the ability, progression and potential of our talented young people but also their resilience. Despite the myriad challenges brought by Covid, the continuation of performing arts throughout virtual and physical school has ensured our young people can succeed in their chosen path.”
“Last term saw a welcome return to live performances, including the orchestral concert and My Fair Lady. The breath-taking performances enjoyed by audiences proved beyond doubt that performing arts at Caterham continues to grow. My thanks to the teaching team across music, drama and dance for their determination and hard work in supporting our pupils for their applications, and for ensuring that performing arts at Caterham is thriving for all pupils.”
