Fetcham Village Infant School
About Fetcham Village Infant School
Fetcham Village Infant School is a state primary in Mole Valley, Surrey, that is running very close to full capacity with 177 pupils against a maximum of 180. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 6. 8%, which is notably low compared with national averages and reflects the relatively affluent local area. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 139 applications for 60 places, making it oversubscribed by a factor of 2. 32. Of those, 65 families put it as their first preference, and 59 first-preference offers were made. This level of competition suggests that Fetcham Village Infant School is a popular choice among local parents, particularly those seeking a smaller, community-focused infant setting for children aged 4 to 7.
