St Wilfrid’s has an extremely strong reputation in the community and as such, we are heavily oversubscribed with waiting lists in all year groups. We are a 6-form entry Catholic School but we increased in size to 7 forms of entry in September 2023 and 2024 for Year 7 to take bulge classes to help West Sussex with the demand for secondary places in Crawley. Our VI Form is incredibly popular and we estimate we will have our larges Year 12 cohort this September.
The students love their school and staff love working here. In our most recent Catholic School Inspection, where we were rated “Outstanding”, the inspectors commented that, “the care, compassion and respect demonstrated within the community by students and staff are outstanding features of the school’s Catholic character and culture”.
