Our first-class Hockey Pitch is proud to serve as the home of Oxted Hockey Club, a distinguished National Premier Division team. The club recently enjoyed its most successful season to date in 2024/25, narrowly missing out on qualification for European competition. Hosting a team of this calibre not only reflects the quality of our facilities but also provides inspiration and aspiration for all those who take part in Hockey at Caterham school.

The academy has three development strands:
Performance – on Thursday evenings at Caterham School for Year 7+, is the highest level, providing more intense training focused on advanced skills, tactical understanding and performing under pressure.
Pathway – held at Caterham School on Tuesday evenings for Years 3-7, develops players’ technical ability while introducing positional play, tactics and decision-making through game-based practice.
Core – delivered at Copthorne Prep School on Wednesday evenings, introduces younger players to hockey in a fun and supportive environment while building basic stick and ball skills.
Every Thursday evening (term time only) 5.30pm to 7.00pm.
These sessions are designed for players who demonstrate a high level of commitment to their development and are looking to train and compete in a more demanding environment.

Every Tuesday evening (term time only) 5.30pm to 7.00pm.
