Woldingham School

Word From The Head

From Dr James Whitehead, Head

Welcome to Woldingham, a forward-looking, open-hearted and warm school community, where students develop confidence, compassion and courage.

As one of the UK’s leading – and oldest – girls’ schools, Woldingham students receive a first-class academic and pastoral education that opens doors to top universities and exciting careers. The girls forge friendships that last a lifetime, while they develop their personal integrity and character, providing moral purpose and direction. With the kindness of Catholic, Sacred Heart tradition in our hearts, we warmly welcome students of all faiths and none.

Whether day student or boarder, aspiring scientist, musician, artist, sportswoman or poet, Woldingham is flexible enough to cater for the needs of each student and her family. I have high aspirations for each and every one of our students. Yes, we work hard but with a sense of adventure, real spirit and sheer fun.

Woldingham is a truly happy place, a place to grow and flourish. Set in some of the most beautiful Surrey countryside, Woldingham is inspiring, peaceful and safe, while being surprisingly accessible by car, train and plane.

I look forward to welcoming you to our remarkable school so you can see and feel wonderful Woldingham for yourself.
