About Sandcross Primary School

Sandcross Primary School in Reigate and Banstead is a state primary that is clearly in demand. With 669 pupils on roll against a capacity of 700, the school is running very close to full. The oversubscription picture tells the story: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 157 applications for just 58 places, with 78 of those coming as first preferences. That works out at 2. 71 applicants per place, a strong signal of local popularity. The pupil body is notably diverse in socioeconomic terms: 18. 4% of children qualify for free school meals, which is above the national average for primary schools and suggests the school serves a genuinely mixed catchment. The headteacher is Mark Richards, and the school has a nursery provision for three-year-olds, so families can start their children here from the earliest primary stage.
