Woolmer Hill School, formerly Woolmer Hill Technology College, is the main secondary school in the area of Haslemere, Surrey.

Funding
A non-fee paying school, WHS's funding is received predominantly via pro rata Education Funding Agency annual allocation from general taxation.  Since 1989 the school has benefited from the Woolmer Hill School Friends Association, a Charities Commission registered fund raised by parents and fundraising across the region.  Funds are enhanced by successful registration or selection for pupil premiums and grants restricted to central and local government-funded schools. Free school meals eligibility: 5.6% (band: low). The proportion of students known to be eligible for the pupil premium funding (additional government funding for children in the care of the local authority, students known to be eligible for free school meals and those from service families) stood for the financial year 2014–15 at £89,760 to supplement annual central government funding of more than £3,000,000.
