About Pyrford Church of England Primary School

Pyrford Church of England Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 195 applications for just 60 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 25. Of those, 88 families put it as their first preference, and 59 first-preference offers were made. That level of demand suggests a strong reputation in the Woking area. While the school doesn't publish a parent-view survey score, the sheer volume of applications — more than three times the places available — is a practical signal that many families are keen to secure a spot here. The school is a state-funded, mixed Church of England primary for children aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision on site. Gavin Dutton is the headteacher, and the school currently has 487 pupils on roll, just shy of its capacity of 506.
