A leading day and boarding school for girls aged 11-18 set in hundreds of acres of beautiful Surrey countryside, Woldingham is an inspiring place for students to become courageous, confident and compassionate young women. It’s a place where students learn to ‘write your own story’ through excellent teaching, boundless opportunities and first-rate pastoral care.

Woldingham’s rural location is remarkably easy to get to. With Woldingham station adjoining the school grounds, London is just 30 minutes away by train and the school is easily accessible for families in Surrey, Kent and Sussex.

A Sacred Heart Catholic school, Woldingham warmly welcomes students of all faiths and none to a thriving school community founded on values derived from the Sacred Heart goals of faith, intellect, social awareness, community and personal growth.

Woldingham’s new Sixth Form Centre is the inspiring home for our A Level students, where learning, creativity and excellence flourish in the state-of-the-art building. 

Girls achieve outstanding GCSE and A Level results. In 2024, 51% of A Level grades awarded were A*/A, with 82% A*-B. At GCSE, 30% of all results were at grade 9, with more than three quarters grade 9-7. Students secure places at leading UK and international universities, opening doors to exciting careers. They choose from a wide range of academic enrichment opportunities, including a vibrant talks programme from leading academics and an annual philosothon, and Woldingham has a dynamic scholarship programme.

Woldingham has an exceptional programme of sport, performing arts, clubs and societies, enabling students to develop a comprehensive range of skills, expertise and interests. 

The beauty and peace of Woldingham makes it the perfect place to board. Boarders live in comfortable and well-equipped boarding houses, and there is a great sense of community. Enthusiastic and experienced housemistresses understand how to help new girls settle in quickly and make the most of school life. Flexi boarding is a great option and weekly boarding is increasingly popular.

One of the UK’s oldest girls’ schools, Woldingham’s staff are experts in teaching in an all-girls environment. The school’s supportive and stimulating single-sex environment enables students to become authors of their own life story, growing into independent women who make a positive contribution to the world.
