Warlingham School

Warlingham, CR6 9YB · Surrey · secondary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Secondary
4.5/10 Broadly average

41st of 54 secondary schools in Surrey we can score, 58 in total — the rest without enough published data. Local and same-phase on purpose: a national table mostly measures who attends.

Narrow the comparison to the 920 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9/10 among them, against 4.1/10 nationally. Both figures are results only, without the inspection grade. A lower figure here means a stronger comparison group, not a weaker school.

Each measure is read as a position among comparable schools, so a school in the middle of the country scores 5. Full method.

Get to know the school

How it's doing. In 2024/25, 41.5% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 44.4, slightly below the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was -0.18 in 2023/24, indicating pupils did slightly worse than peers nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in January 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 2.9 out of 10 among them, against 4.1 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join chess and creative writing clubs, play netball, rugby, football, or join competitive swim squads, and learn orchestra, singing, piano, drums, trumpet, or male voice. An after-school club is available.

Getting in. The school has 1442 pupils in a capacity of 1536, leaving 94 spare places. This means the school has a little room, but is fairly full.

Worth asking on a visit. How does the school support pupils to improve their Progress 8 scores? What specific activities does the after-school club offer? How does the curriculum address the gap between the school’s attainment and the national median?
