About Dovers Green School

Dovers Green School is a state primary in Surrey, catering for children aged 4 to 7 in the borough of Reigate and Banstead. It sits within a competitive local landscape where the top-performing primary schools in the local authority include South Farnham School, The Raleigh School and Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary School. Dovers Green itself holds a Good rating from its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2023, a step down from the Outstanding grade it achieved in its previous inspection back in 2009. However, the school still earned Outstanding marks in two key areas: early years provision and behaviour and attitudes. The nearest Outstanding-rated primary school is Reigate Parish Church Primary School, just 1. 8 kilometres away. With 237 pupils on roll against a capacity of 288, the school is not at full capacity, yet it was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, receiving 179 applications for 65 places — a ratio of 2. 75 applicants per place. Only 39 of those applications were first-preference offers, suggesting strong local demand.
