Carrington School is a mixed comprehensive in the heart of Redhill, Surrey. In April 2021 we moved into our new building which includes: 8 science labs, 2 ICT suites, Library, Dining area, Hall, performance space, 3 DT rooms, 9 teaching rooms and a range of small learning spaces, workrooms and offices.
This is a very exciting time to join the school, as it is in the process of building on the strong foundations of many successful years as a prominent and reputable school in the Redhill and Reigate area of Surrey.
In September 2021, on the back of the move to our new facility we changed our name and look, becoming ‘Carrington School’. This was based on the famous astrologer Richard Carrington who in 1853 lived in Redhill.
The school is part of SESSET (South East Surrey Schools Education Trust) which is made up of ourselves, Therfield School, Leatherhead and The Ashcombe School, Dorking. Mr David Blow is the Executive Headteacher of the Multi Academy Trust. It is a partnership, built on a mutual respect for each other. Within the Trust each school remains autonomous in many decisions made and in their own vision.
The working environment is stimulating and very busy; however, we do try to place importance on coming together regularly. We know how important provision of career opportunities is and will be expecting staff to be ambitious in their own development.
