Space to think, grow and inspire

Space to think, grow and inspire

Woldingham is set within 700 acres of the most beautiful Surrey countryside providing space to explore, space to roam and space to think. The 19th century main building sits alongside purpose-built science labs, humanities and language hubs, studios for art, drama and music, and a 600-seat auditorium.

Not only is our location inspiring, we’re remarkably accessible. Direct trains reach the school in 25 minutes from Clapham Junction to the train station in the school grounds. The school bus service covers Surrey and Kent. It is less than three miles to the M25, only 30 minutes from Gatwick and 45 minutes from Heathrow.

With such beautiful grounds, staff use our outdoor space as much as possible for teaching and learning.

New Sixth Form Centre and Library

Woldingham will open a new Sixth Form Centre and Library in 2024. The new building will provide innovative and vibrant spaces for students across all years, with dedicated areas in the Sixth Form Centre for older students as they make the important transition from school to university, developing careers as lifelong, empowered learners.
