About Glyn School

If you are a parent considering Glyn School, the numbers suggest you are far from alone in your interest. For entry in 2025/26, the school received 653 applications for 236 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.77. Of those, 267 families put Glyn as their first preference, and 221 of those were offered a place. That level of demand is a strong signal of local reputation. While the school does not publish a parent-view survey score, the sheer volume of first-choice applications implies a high degree of confidence among families who know it best. The school is a boys' secondary with a co-educational sixth form, and it operates as a state-funded academy in Surrey. Its most recent Ofsted inspection, in 2023, awarded the top grade of Outstanding across every category: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and sixth-form provision. That is a clean sweep, and it matches the Outstanding rating the school also held in its previous inspection in 2012.
