As one of the UK’s oldest girls’ schools, ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵis proud to be a pioneer of women’s education. Our single-sex environment is supportive and stimulating. It enables students to be themselves and to grow into independent women who will make a positive contribution to the world. Whether day or boarding, each student is known and supported as an individual to develop the resilience and self-worth that will remain with her for life.
ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵis a happy and successful school, where students become confident, compassionate and courageous young women.
As part of the global network of Sacred Heart schools, ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵhas a Catholic foundation. The five Sacred Heart goals of faith, community, intellect, social awareness and personal growth underpin everything we do. The result is a unique, forward-thinking and caring community, where girls thrive in and out of the classroom
Students leave ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵwith academic results that open doors, values to navigate careers and family life ahead, and friendships that last a lifetime.

THRIVE – learning for life – underpins everything at Woldingham. THRIVE promotes emotional wellbeing and enables every student to develop the growth mindset, resilience and self-worth to enjoy success as well as learn from setbacks.
Our aim is for each of our students to thrive as an individual, reaching goals through a balanced, healthy and mindful approach. We want students to be able to face changes with flexibility, meet failure with resilience and manage their own busy lives calmly. This means they will live their life to their full potential and they’ll be happy.
As part of the THRIVE programme, students develop study skills. Study skills are developed as girls move up through the school, with foundations built in Years 7 and 8 carried on through to the Sixth Form.
THRIVE focuses on the importance of wellbeing. Students learn about handling social media, self-esteem and body image. They learn how to deal with pressure, responsibility and making the right choices. All skills needed to be successful at school and as an adult.

Pastoral care is our most important role. When girls are in our care – whether day or boarding – we care, nurture and support them. The ages from 11 to 18 are some of the most important of a girl’s life. We feel privileged to educate and guide our girls through this time.
At ÃÛÌÒÊÓƵevery student is known and supported as an individual by both teaching and support staff. At the heart of our pastoral care is kindness. Staff are kind to the students and each other. We support – and expect – girls to be kind to each other.
Our single-sex environment is supportive and stimulating. It enables girls to be themselves and to grow into independent women.
