Schools in Chertsey
Chertsey has 11 schools in the Runnymede borough, coordinated by Surrey County Council, including 7 primaries and one secondary - Jubilee High School. All three Ofsted-rated schools hold a Good or Outstanding rating. Three schools are oversubscribed, and five schools have a religious character. Surrey's non-selective community secondary system means Jubilee High is the main secondary route for most Chertsey families.
The town's location near the M25 and the River Thames means a substantial commuter population, and demand for places at popular primaries in the town centre can be high. Some Chertsey families look to independent schools in Weybridge and Addlestone for secondary options. In-year admission enquiries should be directed to Surrey's School Admissions team, which holds waiting list information for oversubscribed schools.
