Horsell CofE Junior School

About Horsell CofE Junior School

Horsell CofE Junior School is a Church of England primary for pupils aged 7 to 11, located in Woking, Surrey. With a school capacity of 360, it is a reasonably sized junior school, though the data does not specify current pupil numbers or whether it is full. Free school meal eligibility is not provided in the data, so it is not possible to compare its intake disadvantage level against the national or local average. The school’s religious character as Church of England may influence its admissions criteria, but no specific admission information — such as oversubscription rates or catchment details — is available in the data. What is clear is that Horsell sits within Surrey local authority, which has 298 primary schools in total, 33 of which are rated Outstanding. The nearest Outstanding-rated school is St Dunstan's Catholic Primary School in Woking, about 2 km away. Without further demand signals, it is difficult to gauge how competitive entry to Horsell is, but its position in a well-regarded local authority suggests it is a solid option for families seeking a state junior school with a faith foundation.

Academic outcomes for Horsell CofE Junior School are not directly provided in the data, so it is not possible to report its Progress 8 score, KS2 SATs results, or any Ofsted rating. However, local context shows that the Surrey local authority average for Key Stage 2 attainment is 66, which gives a benchmark for comparison if results were available. The school’s top-performing peers in the area include South Farnham School, The Raleigh School, and Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary School, all of which rank highly on the local ranking score. Without Horsell’s own ranking or exam data, parents would need to consult the school’s most recent performance tables or Ofsted report directly to assess its academic standing. The absence of this information in the data means that academic comparisons cannot be drawn here, but the school’s position within a strong local authority suggests it operates within a competitive educational landscape.

Horsell CofE Junior School offers a range of facilities including a library, outdoor playground, playing fields, art studios, sports hall, forest school, and a chapel, which supports both academic and extracurricular development. Sports provision includes tennis, athletics, gymnastics, and cross country, while clubs extend to coding, choir, science club, and art club. The school does not have a nursery or sixth form, focusing solely on the junior years. There is no data on SEND provisions, so it is unclear what specialist support is available. This school would suit families in Woking who value a Church of England ethos and want a junior-only setting with strong outdoor and creative facilities. The forest school and chapel are distinctive features that may appeal to those seeking a nature-connected, faith-based environment. Without admission details, parents should check directly with the school regarding oversubscription and catchment criteria.
