About St John's CofE Aided Primary School

St John's CofE Aided Primary School in Tandridge is a popular choice among local families, and the numbers back that up. For the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 86 applications for 59 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 1. 46. All 37 first-preference applicants were offered a place, which suggests that while the school is in demand, it remains a realistic option for those who put it top of their list. Parent satisfaction data isn't published directly, but the healthy application numbers and full first-preference uptake are strong signals that families who know the school rate it highly. The school is a Church of England primary for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site, and is led by headteacher Robert Veale. It currently has 436 pupils on roll, against a capacity of 540, so there is some room to grow.
