About Laleham CofE VA Primary School

Laleham CofE VA Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 169 applications for just 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 86. That means nearly three families applied for every available spot. Of the 67 first-preference applications, 55 were offered places, so while it’s competitive, putting it first on your form gives you a decent chance. The school’s parentView data isn’t available in this dataset, but the sheer demand suggests strong word-of-mouth. With 408 pupils on a capacity of 420, it’s running very close to full, and the 8. 1 per cent of pupils eligible for free school meals is below the national average, indicating a relatively affluent catchment. Headteacher Lizzie Wayland leads a Church of England primary that clearly commands loyalty in Spelthorne.
