A team of intrepid cyclists from Caterham School are embarking on the ride24 adventure this June. We start from Manchester Veledrome and over 6 stages and 24 hours later we will complete the 250 mile ride in London’s Victoria Park.     

Caterham School is supporting the development of a primary school in the foot hills of Mt Kilimanjaro. Each year we travel to Tanzania with a group of twenty sixth form students to help improve the school, teach lessons, and make friends. Money is raised by all of the students at Caterham School and funds raised go towards different building and educational projects. Four years ago we raised money for new teacher accommodation, and since its completion 2 new members of staff have joined the school. Three years ago we began to raise money for a new kitchen, food store and toilet block. These are now operational and have been commended by the World Food Programme, for the improvements in hygiene and fuel efficiency. We have also improved the water supply, and last year provided text books for each student in line with the new syllabus in Tanzania. We are planning to improve the solar power and IT provision.
