Earlswood Junior School
About Earlswood Junior School
Earlswood Junior School in Reigate and Banstead is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11, and it currently has 392 pupils on roll against a capacity of 480. That leaves some physical room to grow, but the real story is in the intake profile: a quarter of its pupils (25. 5%) are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly above the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school serves a notably diverse socioeconomic mix. Despite this, the school is not oversubscribed in a way that would suggest intense local competition — its ranking within Surrey sits at 103rd out of 298 primary schools of the same type, placing it in the middle of the pack locally. For families looking at the Reigate and Banstead area, this means Earlswood is a solid, accessible option rather than a pressure-cooker choice, and one that reflects the genuine demographic breadth of the community it serves.
