This School Guide heat map has been plotted using official pupil data taken from the last School Census collected by the Department for Education. It is a visualisation of where pupils lived at the time of the annual School Census.

Our heat maps use groups of postcodes, not individual postcodes, and have naturally soft edges. All pupils are included in the mapping (i.e. children with siblings already at the school, high priority pupils and selective and/or religious admissions) but we may have removed statistical ‘outliers’ with more remote postcodes that do not reflect majority admissions.

For some schools, the heat map may be a useful indicator of the catchment area but our heat maps are not the same as catchment area maps. Catchment area maps, published by the school or local authority, are based on geographical admissions criteria and show actual cut-off distances and pre-defined catchment areas for a single admission year.

This information is provided as a guide only. The criteria in which schools use to allocate places in the event that they are oversubscribed can and do vary between schools and over time. These criteria can include distance from the school and sometimes specific catchment areas but can also include, amongst others, priority for siblings, children of a particular faith or specific feeder schools. Living in an area where children have previously attended a school does not guarantee admission to the school in future years. Always check with the school’s own admission authority for the current admission arrangements.

3 steps to help parents gather catchment information for a school:

  1. Look at our school catchment area guide for more information on heat maps. They give a useful indicator of the general areas that admit pupils to the school. This visualisation is based on all attending pupils present at the time of the annual School Census.
  2. Use the link to the Local Authority Contact (above) to find catchment area information based on a single admission year. This is very important if you are considering applying to a school.
  3. On each school page, use the link to visit the school website and find information on individual school admissions criteria. Geographical criteria are only applied after pupils have been admitted on higher priority criteria such as Looked After Children, SEN, siblings, etc.

School Description

Warlingham is a welcoming, friendly school. A staff member described it as a ‘massive family’. The relationships between staff and pupils, and between pupils themselves, are very positive. Pupils trust and value their teachers and support staff. Pupils are happy and feel safe. Leaders have high expectations of pupils. The school’s values of ‘courage, commitment and kindness’ run through every aspect of school life. Leaders are ambitious for pupils’ learning. Pupils speak positively about this expectation, and they live up to it. Consequently, pupils achieve well. The majority of pupils behave well. They are polite and courteous in lessons. At social times, they mingle happily and act with consideration. Some pupils need extra help with their behaviour. These pupils value the support they get from staff at ‘The Bridge’ and ‘The Maple Room’. Staff deal well with any bullying incidents. Most pupils are confident that bullying is taken seriously. Pupils have access to a large selection of activities outside the classroom, including clubs, sports and trips. Many pupils take part in The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. The annual activities week, which includes trips to the Lake District and Paris, is very popular. Sixthform students enjoy volunteering activities, such as working with local charities and reading with younger pupils.

“Sadly Dissappointed”

unlock
"> I am the mother of a pupil who has attended this school right through from 11 to 18. She is now in her last year doing her A levels. In the beginning this was a fantastic school but then the head teacher left and it started to decline. At GCSE there was nothing but panic and mayhem. Any observations about, in particular, an under performing English teacher were left unheeded for the full first year of the GCSE, leaving my daughter to catch up on all things English in the second year, resulting in a result less than predicted. I had hoped that 6 form would be better but in fact this was far worse. Little or no support for students in their A levels. In fact, Art students have nowhere permanent to work and their work is not held safely and is open to damage from other students. Complaints are left ignored, at meetings teachers are surly or arrogant added to which the student is then met with unhelpful or upsetting remarks. Fortunately, my daughter is tuff and was always going to do well despite the teachers best efforts to reduce her confidence. I have given this school 3 stars as up till now my daughter has been happy, particularly in the first few years, and has made some really lovely friends. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this school on any level.
