About Clarendon Primary School

Clarendon Primary School in Spelthorne is a state primary for children aged 2 to 11, and it’s a school that local families clearly want to get into. With 256 pupils on roll against a capacity of 241, it’s technically over capacity, and the numbers back up that demand: for 30 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 145 total applications, giving an oversubscription ratio of 4.83. Only 27 first-preference offers were made from 41 first-preference applications, so it’s competitive. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 29.4% of children are eligible for free school meals, which is well above the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a genuinely mixed catchment. Headteacher William Neale leads a school that, despite being oversubscribed, manages to draw from a broad local community rather than a narrow, affluent slice of it.
