Oakhyrst Grange School is a small, independent school in Caterham, Surrey, England [1] , for pupils aged 3–11. It is on the outskirts of Caterham, in Stanstead Road, and has been on its current site for over 50 years.
Caterham is a town in the Tandridge District of Surrey, England. The town is administratively divided into two: Caterham on the Hill, and Caterham Valley, which includes the main town centre in the middle of a dry valley but rises to equal heights to the south. The town lies close to the A22, 21 miles (34 km) from Guildford and 6 miles (9.7 km) south of Croydon, in an upper valley cleft into the dip slope of the North Downs. Caterham on the Hill is above the valley to the west. Due to its proximity to London, Caterham is a commuter town, with small-to-medium-sized businesses of its own but relatively few business/industrial parks. It has some retail and restaurants in Caterham Valley as well as pubs dotted throughout.
Surrey is a subdivision of the English region of South East England in the United Kingdom. A historic and ceremonial county, Surrey is also one of the home counties. The county borders Kent to the east, East Sussex and West Sussex to the south, Hampshire to the west, Berkshire to the northwest, and Greater London to the northeast.
Oakhyrst Grange School is based in a late Victorian house (1892) built for Mr Frederick J. Cullingford. [2] It was bought and converted into a school in the 1950s, having moved from Hillside on Tupwood Lane. Little Oakhyrst, which is now a separate private dwelling, was originally the coach house and garage, housing the coachman and later the chauffeur. The gardener used to live in what was known as Oakhyrst Lodge (1911 census) but is now a separate house on Stanstead Road. The indoor swimming pool is also used extensively by the local community. Being an independent preparatory school, children from Oakhyrst Grange School will move on to local senior independent schools, most commonly Caterham School, Whitgift School, Trinity School, Croydon High School, Woldingham School, Dunottar and Lingfield College. The Cameron Hall, the school's multi-purpose school hall, was built in 1984.

Along with Trinity School of John Whitgift and Old Palace School it is owned by the Whitgift Foundation, a charitable trust. Previously a grammar school and direct grant grammar school, the school's headmaster is a now member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference.
Croydon High School is an independent day school for girls located near Croydon, London, England. It is one of the original schools founded by the Girls' Day School Trust.
A new building, the Brookes Winterflood Annexe, was built in 2011-2012, and officially opened on 27 February 2012. With two new classrooms, a smaller hall, and a learning resource room, the school has expanded and updated its facilities, allowing for more peripatetic teachers in the old building. A Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) was completed in 2016. The school is one form entry, with small classes, of no more than 20, and prides itself on its small, family atmosphere.
