Katherine Warington School

About Katherine Warington School

Katherine Warington School opened in September 2019. We are a comprehensive, co-educational and non-denominational academic secondary school. Our beginning was complex. After several years waiting for planning permission to be granted, we opened on our permanent site in Harpenden in our newly built sports centre. Our main build had been delayed by challenges to our planning application so we adapted and developed an alternative plan-convert the sports centre into classrooms for our first year. The plan worked very well.

Our main build was completed in July 2020 and we moved in straight away. However, this was during the lockdown period so we had staff running remote learning from a pristine, largely unoccupied building. We welcomed back our two full year groups in September 2020 into our completed new school. Our Published Admissions Number (PAN) is 180 Year 7 students though for 2022 due to demand we agreed with Hertfordshire County Council to take an additional class of 30 making our intake 210 students for that year only. The school will add 180 further students in each subsequent year and then open a 250-strong Sixth Form. By 2025 we will have grown to our capacity of 1150 students.

Katherine Warington School was established through the partnership of the three outstanding secondary schools in Harpenden: Roundwood Park, St George’s and Sir John Lawes, complemented by our additional partners: University of Hertfordshire and Rothamsted Research Centre.

Katherine Warington School is a modern school, using contemporary teaching methods supported by robust academic research allied with traditional core values. Central to our vision for the school is the shared belief that young people have the right to a transformational educational experience that will enable them to fulfil their potential and realise their ambitions. Talent is evenly distributed, opportunity isn’t. Our school has a culture that fosters and rewards success, inspires learning and engenders a shared belief amongst all members of the school community that nothing is impossible if it will improve learners’ life chances. We provide the highest quality teaching and learning to meet the needs and expectations of the Harpenden community. We nurture our students to be fully fledged members and leaders of our democratic society, ready when they leave us as young adults to make a positive impact on the world.
