About Great Bookham School

Great Bookham School is a state primary in Mole Valley, Surrey, and it currently holds the top spot among the 11 primary schools in the borough, according to local rankings. That puts it ahead of well-regarded peers like South Farnham School, The Raleigh School, and Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary School, which are the top three in the wider Surrey local authority. Headteacher Jenna Allen leads a mixed, non-denominational school of 259 pupils, with capacity for 330. The school is clearly popular: for 2025/26 admissions, it received 171 applications for just 60 places, with 57 first-preference applications and 54 offers going to first-preference families. That oversubscription ratio of 2. 85 to one tells you demand is strong. The school also has a higher-than-average proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals at 21. 6%, which adds useful context when looking at its academic performance.
