About St Mary's CofE Aided Infant School, Frensham

St Mary's CofE Aided Infant School in Frensham is a small Church of England primary for children aged 5 to 7, currently home to 87 pupils against a capacity of 90. That near-full roll is no surprise given the demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 120 applications for just 30 places, an oversubscription ratio of 4 to 1. Only 21 of those offers went to first-preference families, suggesting that while the school is popular, securing a place is competitive. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 4. 6%, well below the national average and reflective of the relatively affluent Waverley area. Headteacher Lucy Allan leads a setting that feels deliberately intimate — just three year groups, which allows for close relationships between staff and children.
