St Jude's CofE Infant School
About St Jude's CofE Infant School
St Jude's CofE Infant School is a Church of England state primary in Runnymede, Surrey, for children aged 2 to 7, and it is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 59 applications for just 25 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 36, meaning more than two families applied for every spot. Of those, 21 were first-preference applications, and all 21 received offers, which suggests that while the school is in demand, a first-preference choice stands a good chance. However, the most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in June 2024, rated the school as Requires Improvement overall, which is a significant signal for parents weighing up the school's popularity against its current regulatory standing.
