Welcome to Oakhyrst Grange
Welcome to Oakhyrst Grange School, a thriving co-educational independent preparatory school for children aged 3–11, nestled in the heart of Caterham, Surrey. Proudly part of the Caterham Family of Schools, we combine the warmth and individuality of a close-knit community with the opportunities and shared expertise of a wider family of exceptional schools.
At Oakhyrst, our commitment to academic excellence is matched by our dedication to knowing every child personally. We believe every pupil deserves to feel heard, valued and supported, enabling them to develop the confidence, resilience and curiosity to flourish both in school and beyond.
Our nurturing environment encourages children to embrace challenges, discover their passions and strive for their personal best. High expectations are underpinned by kindness, respect and compassion, creating a culture where every child feels safe to take risks, build lasting friendships and grow into confident, well-rounded young people.
We offer a broad and enriching curriculum that inspires a lifelong love of learning, complemented by outstanding pastoral care, specialist teaching and a wealth of opportunities in sport, music, drama, art and outdoor education. Every aspect of school life is designed to help children realise their full potential.
As pupils prepare to leave us, they do so with the knowledge, skills and self-belief to thrive at a wide range of independent, grammar and maintained senior schools. Through personalised guidance and support, we help every family choose the senior school that is the right fit for their child.
We invite you to explore our website and discover what makes Oakhyrst Grange such a special place—a school where children are known, valued and inspired every day, and where a strong sense of community, exceptional education and the strength of the Caterham Family of Schools provide the perfect foundation for future success.
