How are Year 7 places decided at Warlingham School?

When Warlingham School has more applications than places for 2027-28, they are offered in a published order of priority: 1. Looked after / previously looked after children — Children in the care of a Local Authority or provided with accommodation by a local authority (Section 22, Children Act 1989) at the time of application; and children previously in such care who left through adoption, a child arrangements order or special guardianship order, including those who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be so as a result of being adopted; 2. Exceptional social/medical needs — A very small number of children for whom exceptional social or medical circumstances warrant placement at this particular school, supported by additional information and professional written evidence (e.g. social worker, health visitor, housing officer, police, probation officer, doctor, hospital consultant) explaining why the child must attend Warlingham and why no other school can meet the child's needs. Exceptional arrangements are normally only granted for the child's nearest school; 3. Siblings — A sibling is a child who has a brother or sister (of the same parents, whether at the same address or not), half-sibling, adopted/fostered sibling, or step-sibling living as part of the same family unit at the same address (Monday-Friday), who will still be at the school (including sixth form) at the time of the applicant's admission in September 2027. Must be shown on the preference form to be given priority, and 4 further criteria. The school offers 240 places at this entry point. Tie-break: Should oversubscription occur within any criterion, priority goes to those living closest to the school, measured in a straight line from the Ordnance Survey address point of the pupil's home to the nearest school gate, via Surrey County Council Admission and Transport team's GIS. Where two or more children share equal priority in any category, random allocation is used. Where children from multiple births would otherwise be split by the PAN, the School offers a place to each of them, even above PAN.

What is the largest ethnic background at Warlingham School?

According to the DfE School Census 2025-26, 63.8% of pupils at Warlingham School are recorded as White British. The full ethnic breakdown across all groups is available on the Pupils tab.

How places are decided at Warlingham School

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1Looked after / previously looked after children — Children in the care of a Local Authority or provided with accommodation by a local authority (Section 22, Children Act 1989) at the time of application; and children previously in such care who left through adoption, a child arrangements order or special guardianship order, including those who appear to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be so as a result of being adopted.
2Exceptional social/medical needs — A very small number of children for whom exceptional social or medical circumstances warrant placement at this particular school, supported by additional information and professional written evidence (e.g. social worker, health visitor, housing officer, police, probation officer, doctor, hospital consultant) explaining why the child must attend Warlingham and why no other school can meet the child's needs. Exceptional arrangements are normally only granted for the child's nearest school.
3Siblings — A sibling is a child who has a brother or sister (of the same parents, whether at the same address or not), half-sibling, adopted/fostered sibling, or step-sibling living as part of the same family unit at the same address (Monday-Friday), who will still be at the school (including sixth form) at the time of the applicant's admission in September 2027. Must be shown on the preference form to be given priority.
4Feeder Primary School — Pupils transferring from Hamsey Green Primary School who live within Warlingham School & Sixth Form College's catchment area. This criterion does not apply to in-year admissions.
5Children of staff — Children of a member of staff employed at the school for a minimum of two years by 31 October in the year preceding that for which admission is sought, or employed to fill a vacant post with a demonstrable skills shortage. A Supplementary Information Form must be completed.
6Fixed catchment area — Children who live within Warlingham School & Sixth Form College's fixed catchment area.
7Any other applicant — Any other applicant.

If two applications tie: Should oversubscription occur within any criterion, priority goes to those living closest to the school, measured in a straight line from the Ordnance Survey address point of the pupil's home to the nearest school gate, via Surrey County Council Admission and Transport team's GIS. Where two or more children share equal priority in any category, random allocation is used. Where children from multiple births would otherwise be split by the PAN, the School offers a place to each of them, even above PAN.

Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted before other applicants are considered, reducing available places accordingly (not itself a numbered criterion). The document states the school 'is allowed an intake of 240 pupils into each year group' but only sets out oversubscription criteria for entry to Year 7; no distinct Year 12/Sixth Form oversubscription criteria or process are published in this document, so no separate Year 12 entry is given here.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
