About Surrey Hills All Saints Primary School
Surrey Hills All Saints Primary School is a Church of England state primary in Mole Valley that currently serves 126 pupils against a capacity of 250, meaning it is running at just over half its potential size. That spare capacity stands in contrast to the local demand picture: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 27 applications for just 12 places, with all 12 first-preference offers accepted, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.25. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 20.6%, which is notably higher than the national primary average of around 23% and suggests the school draws from a relatively mixed catchment. With a headteacher in Kelly Frost and a religious character tied to the Church of England, the school presents as a small, faith-based setting that is clearly popular locally despite having room to grow.
Academically, the school’s most recent Ofsted inspection in 2025 awarded a Good rating across all areas, including quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, and early years provision. This marks a significant improvement from its previous inspection in 2023, when the overall effectiveness was judged as Requires Improvement. At Key Stage 2, 59% of pupils met the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined, which is below the local authority average of 66%. However, average scores in reading (108) and maths (106) are both above the national benchmark of 100, and 31% of pupils achieved the higher standard in maths. In the Mole Valley local authority ranking, the school sits 7th out of 11 primary schools on the KS2 combined measure, placing it in the bottom half nationally.
The school offers a solid range of facilities including a sports hall, forest school area, sensory room, and chapel, alongside clubs such as film club, eco club, choir and drama. Sports provision covers football, cricket, swimming, athletics, tennis and cross country. For SEND, the school lists support for autistic spectrum disorder, speech and language needs, visual impairment, physical disability, and social, emotional and mental health needs. Parent View responses from 60 families are overwhelmingly positive: 98% would recommend the school, 82% strongly agree their child is happy, and 88% strongly agree their child feels safe. This is a small, oversubscribed village primary that has turned around its Ofsted rating and now offers a strong sense of community, though its academic results sit below the Surrey average. It will suit families who prioritise a close-knit, faith-based environment with good pastoral care and a broad range of activities.
