Woolmer Hill School

Haslemere, GU27 1QB · Surrey · secondary school

Ofsted: Good · 2023 Inspected 3 years ago Mixed Secondary
7.8/10 Above average

12th 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 589 schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.5/10 among them, against 9.2/10 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, 68.2% of pupils achieved Grade 5 or above in English and maths. Attainment 8 was 56.9, compared to the national median of 44.6. Progress 8 was +0.88 in 2023/24, indicating better progress than pupils nationally who started from the same place. Ofsted rated the school Good in March 2023. Narrow the comparison to the schools whose pupils have similar backgrounds — a tougher field — and it places 8.5 out of 10 among them, against 9.2 out of 10 nationally.

Beyond the classroom. Pupils can join the Duke of Edinburgh Award, BBC Young Reporter, Jazz Band, and photography clubs. Sports include football, netball, and rounders. Trips range from a Year 7 camp to a ski trip to Italy and a residential in Florida.

Getting in. The school has 887 pupils in a capacity of 810, meaning it is over capacity by 77. The school is over its stated capacity, so places are competitive.

Worth asking on a visit. With the school 77 places over capacity, how does the admissions process handle oversubscription? Since the similar-intake comparison shows a lower score than the national figure, what specific support is offered to help pupils close that gap? How does the school manage the transition for Year 7 students given the large residential trip?
