Welcome to Katherine Warrington School.
The secondary school is new for Harpenden, established by a partnership of the existing three secondary schools, the University of Hertfordshire and Rothamsted Research (who together form the Harpenden Secondary Schools Trust).
The Governors of the three existing schools, having taken increased numbers over the last decade, decided that it was not feasible or desirable for the current schools to continually expand. The solution was to propose a new secondary school. With the approval of the DfE to fund and support, together with land provided by HCC, we welcomed our first students into Year 7 in September 2019.
The ethos of our school is aimed at enabling every student to make outstanding progress, whatever their starting point. We offer traditional academic values with an innovative, technology-rich approach, providing high quality education for young people within their local community. Central to our vision for the school is the shared belief that young people have the right to a transformational educational experience. Our school fosters a learning culture that rewards effort, inspires learning and engenders a shared belief amongst all members of the school community that they are equipped to thrive in a changing world.
