Wolsingham School is a coeducational secondary school located in Wolsingham, County Durham, England.[1]

It was founded in 1614 as a boy's school. An early female student was Janet Taylor in the early 1800s.

The school is situated just off the A689, and near the River Wear in the former district of Wear Valley. This is the former grammar school. In the past the lower site was the site for Key Stage 3, while the upper site was for Key Stage 4. This system no longer exists.
