In 1951 a new county secondary school build was announced that would take 600 pupils, located in Warlingham.[2] The secondary modern school was opened in phases and completed in 1953.[3] In September 1972 it became a comprehensive school, with the end of selection in Surrey schools.[4] In 2012 it converted to academy status.[5] In May 2017, the Tandridge learning trust was formed, partnering Warlingham with Hamsey Green Primary School, Woodlea Primary School, Tatsfield Primary School and Bletchingley Primary School.[6]
