About St Peter and St Paul Church Primary School

St Peter and St Paul Church Primary School is a small Church of England primary in Tandridge, within the Surrey local authority. Surrey is a large county with 298 primary schools, and this school sits among them with a Good Ofsted rating. The top-performing peers in the local authority, based on ranking scores, are South Farnham School, The Raleigh School, and Cardinal Newman Catholic Primary School. For families specifically seeking an Outstanding-rated school nearby, the nearest is Hillcroft Primary School & Nursery, 2.1 kilometres away. St Peter and St Paul is a state-funded, mixed-gender school for children aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 166 pupils against a capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals is 7.8 per cent, which is relatively low. The headteacher is Rosemary (Rosie) Villajos Burgess.

In its most recent Ofsted inspection, carried out in February 2024, the school received a Good rating across all five graded categories: overall effectiveness, quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and leadership and management. The early years provision was also judged Good. This represents a change from the school’s previous inspection in 2010, when it was rated Outstanding overall. The inspection report notes that the school continues to provide a good standard of education, though it no longer holds the top grade. Academic outcomes data for Key Stage 2 is not available in the school’s profile, so it is not possible to compare its SATs results directly with the Surrey local authority average of 66 per cent. However, the school’s Good rating for quality of education suggests that pupils are making at least expected progress across the curriculum.

The school offers a range of facilities including an ICT suite, library, gymnasium, art studios, music rooms, a chapel, playing fields, and an outdoor playground. Sports on offer include cricket, swimming, cross country, and dance, while clubs cover drama, choir, gardening, science, book club, and coding. The school has identified SEND provisions for pupils with specific learning difficulties such as dyslexia, moderate learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health needs, speech, language and communication needs, and other difficulties or disabilities. For the 2025/26 intake, the school was oversubscribed: it received 73 applications for 30 places, with 25 first-preference applications and 22 offers made to first-preference families, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.43. This level of demand suggests the school is a popular choice locally, particularly for families who value a church school with a broad range of enrichment activities.
