Supported by inspiring teaching and outstanding facilities, Woldingham students achieve outstanding GCSE and A Level results to secure places at leading universities and opening doors to exciting careers. Our exceptional programme of sport, clubs, performing arts, careers support and community outreach enables students to develop a wide range of skills, expertise, achievement and interests, alongside high-level academic achievement.
Founded in 1842 by the Society of the Sacred Heart, Woldingham is proud to be a pioneer of women’s education. Our supportive and stimulating all-girls environment enables students to grow into independent women who will make a positive contribution to the world. Woldingham has a Catholic foundation, but we warmly welcome students of all faiths and none. The Sacred Heart goals of faith, community, intellect, social awareness and personal growth underpin everything we do, resulting in a forward-thinking and caring community, where girls flourish in and out of the classroom.
