The staff work incredibly hard and are prepared to go the extra mile for the students in their charge. Our students are amazing and they contribute enormously to making the school such a welcoming and productive place. Our most recent Section 48 Diocesan Report (October 2017) and our Ofsted Report (January 2018) certainly reinforce this aspect of school life. All potential applicants are invited and encouraged to arrange a visit – we firmly believe you will not be disappointed.

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”.
