About St Paul's CofE Primary School

St Paul's CofE Primary School in Runnymede is a state primary for children aged 4 to 11, and it is currently running very close to full capacity with 412 pupils against a published capacity of 420. That near-full roll makes sense when you look at the demand: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 117 applications for just 59 places, making it officially oversubscribed with an oversubscription ratio of nearly 2:1. Only 54 first-preference families secured a spot. The school’s intake is notably diverse in terms of disadvantage: 28. 4% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, which is significantly higher than the national average for primary schools (around 23%) and well above the Surrey local authority average. This suggests the school serves a genuinely mixed catchment, drawing families from a range of backgrounds. It is a Church of England school, led by headteacher Louise Kaye, and its most recent Ofsted inspection in 2022 rated it Good overall, with an Outstanding mark for early years provision.
