About Haslemere Primary School

Haslemere Primary School in Merton is a mixed state primary for children aged 2 to 11, currently home to 337 pupils against a capacity of 498. That leaves a fair amount of physical space, but the school is clearly in demand: for the 2025/26 intake, it received 60 applications for just 30 places, with 33 of those coming as first preferences. The oversubscription ratio sits at exactly 2:1, so securing a spot is competitive. The pupil body is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage, with 41.3% of children eligible for free school meals — well above the national average and a significant marker of the community the school serves. Headteacher Martin Roughley leads a school that, on paper, looks like a popular local option drawing families from across the area, particularly those who value a non-religious, inclusive setting.
