Schools in Egham
Egham has 10 schools — 5 primaries — all administered by Surrey County Council. Three schools have a religious character, and one school is currently at or above published capacity. Two schools operate as academies with independent admissions policies; the remaining community schools follow Surrey's standard distance-from-home tiebreaker.
