Manorcroft Primary School
About Manorcroft Primary School
Manorcroft Primary School in Runnymede is a mixed state primary for children aged 4 to 11, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school has a capacity of 420 pupils and currently hosts 405, meaning it is running very close to full. The demand is evident from the 2025/26 admissions data: the school received 133 applications for just 59 places, with 74 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at 2. 25 applications per place, a strong oversubscription ratio. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 15. 8%, which is above the national primary average of around 23% but worth noting in the context of Surrey, a relatively affluent county. This suggests Manorcroft draws from a reasonably mixed catchment, balancing its strong local reputation with genuine socioeconomic diversity.
