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. The secondary modern school was opened in phases and completed in 1953. In September 1972 it became a comprehensive school, with the end of selection in Surrey schools. In 2012 it converted to academy status. 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.

Facilities

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