About Godalming Junior School

Godalming Junior School is a state primary for children aged 7 to 11 in Waverley, Surrey, and it is a school that parents clearly rate highly. While the school does not publish a specific parent recommendation percentage, its oversubscription ratio tells a strong story: the school has 239 pupils on roll against a capacity of 240, meaning it is effectively full. This level of demand suggests that local families are actively choosing Godalming Junior School over other options in the area. The school is led by headteacher Adam Samson and holds a Good rating from Ofsted, a grade it has maintained across its most recent inspections. In its 2022 ungraded inspection, Ofsted confirmed that the school remains Good, with leadership and management also judged Good.
