Warlingham School & Sixth Form College is a caring, supportive environment, where children and staff are happy, where we work with integrity and respect, and where everyone is challenged to reach their highest possible achievement.

Warlingham is a welcoming, friendly school. 

Ofsted, 2022

Learning takes place in a purposeful and well-disciplined environment in which students are encouraged to be actively involved through investigation, problem-solving, discussion, practical work and research.

Ofsted inspectors have praised the strong pastoral support, quality of teaching and well planned curriculum across subjects. Staff have high expectations of students and are ambitious for pupils’ learning. Pupils speak positively about this expectation, and they live up to it. Consequently, pupils achieve well. 

We take our motto of "Wide Horizons, High Aspirations" very seriously and build in opportunities for our students to develop as individuals through the taught curriculum and an extensive range of additional activities.

Our Values

The school’s values of ‘courage, commitment and kindness’ run through every aspect of school life. 

Ofsted, 2022

Our key values are: Courage, Commitment and Kindness.  The Warlingham Learner, which centres on and develops these values, is the means by which we articulate and develop the skills and personal attributes that our students need to become outstanding lifelong learners who are able to be happy and successful in school and in life beyond school.  For more information about the Warlingham Learner, please click here.
