St John's CofE Aided Infant School
About St John's CofE Aided Infant School
St John's CofE Aided Infant School is clearly a popular choice among local families. For the 2025/26 intake, the school received 46 applications for just 15 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3. 07. Of those 46 applicants, 14 listed St John's as their first preference, and all 14 were offered a place. This level of demand suggests strong word-of-mouth and a good reputation in the Waverley area. The school is a small, Church of England primary for children aged 4 to 7, with just 62 pupils on roll against a capacity of 90. That means there is some room for growth, but the oversubscription figures show that securing a place is competitive, particularly for families who live outside the immediate catchment. The headteacher is Marion Stevens, and the school is part of the Surrey local authority.
