Previously a community school administered by Surrey County Council, in January 2017 The Warwick School converted to academy status. The school is now sponsored by the South East Surrey Schools Education Trust. In September 2021, the school changed its name from The Warwick School to Carrington School.[4]

Headteacher

Kerry Oakley has been the Headteacher since 2018.

Prior to this, Ms Oakley was the Headteacher at St. Andrew's High School in Croydon where she used the name Mrs Kerry Targett. During this time she was involved in several controversies including inappropriate use of the school credit card[5] and one of her school trips making national headlines.[6] St Andrew's was subsequently judged by OFSTED to be inadequate prior to its closure.[7]

Ms Oakley invited parents to discuss this further with her upon starting at The Warwick School.[8]
