About The Echelford Primary School

Parents considering The Echelford Primary School will find a school that is clearly popular with local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 168 applications for just 83 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.02. That means more than two families applied for every available spot, and 68 of those offers went to first-preference applicants. While the school does not publish a formal parent recommendation percentage, this level of demand is a strong signal that those who know the school well want to secure a place there. The school is a mixed, state primary for children aged 4 to 11, with a current roll of 615 pupils against a capacity of 630, so it is running very close to full. It is non-religious and sits within the Surrey local authority, in the borough of Spelthorne. Leadership is shared by Ms Karen Oakley and Mrs Jessica Bugembe.
