Warlingham School is a large secondary school with pupils aged 11–16, and also has a sixth form for 16- to 18-year-olds. The school is located in the village of Warlingham, in Surrey, England. It is one of three secondary schools in the district of Tandridge.

History

In 1951 a new county secondary school build was announced that would take 600 pupils, located in Warlingham.[2] The secondary modern school was opened in phases and completed in 1953.[3] In September 1972 it became a comprehensive school, with the end of selection in Surrey schools.[4] In 2012 it converted to academy status.[5] In May 2017, the Tandridge learning trust was formed, partnering Warlingham with Hamsey Green Primary School, Woodlea Primary School, Tatsfield Primary School and Bletchingley Primary School.[6]

Facilities

The facilities include a sports hall, swimming pool, astroturf, cricket pitches, rugby pitches, a gymnasium and a fitness suite.[7]

The school is part of the Young Chamber Community, which includes students who take part to make a difference to the school's community.[citation needed]
