About St Stephen's CofE Primary School

Parents considering St Stephen's CofE Primary School in Tandridge will find a school that is clearly popular locally. For the 2025/26 reception intake, the school received 63 applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2. 1. Of those applicants, 28 put it as their first preference, and all 28 were offered a place. This suggests that while the school is in demand, families who prioritise it stand a decent chance of getting in. The school's parentView data isn't available in the most recent figures, but the oversubscription alone signals a strong reputation among local families. The school is a Church of England primary for children aged 2 to 11, with a nursery on site, and currently has 239 pupils on roll, which is above its official capacity of 210. Headteacher Amanda Blackburn leads a school that has clearly grown in confidence since its last full inspection.
