Caterham School have announced that their Performing Arts centre will be extended and refurbished with work commencing in July 2015.

The extended facilities will provide an additional rehearsal room / small theatre and an outdoor performance space for the Drama department. The Music department will benefit from having an additional general purpose studio as well as a Recording Studio. It will also provide for an improved foyer.

Headmaster Julian Thomas said; ‘We believe passionately in the power of the performing arts to motivate and inspire. Our department is already doing achieving great things but has an exciting vision for the future which will take the performing arts even further forward at Caterham School: these new facilities support that vision. We believe that a truly excellent education happens when we remember that fine examination results are a consequence of a broad education and not the reason for education. That is why I am delighted that the Trustees approved this improvement to our Performing Arts area as part of a review to ensure that the facilities available for the students are in keeping with one of the leading co-educational schools in the country.’
