Schools in Horley
Horley's 12 schools are coordinated by Surrey County Council, with 10 primaries and 1 secondary — Oakwood School — serving this fast-growing commuter town at the northern edge of the High Weald. Surrey uses straight-line distance as the standard oversubscription tiebreaker at community schools. Eight of Horley's 12 schools carry a faith designation, making Meath Green Junior and Infant Schools and Langshott Primary the primary non-faith community options.
Oakwood School is Horley's main secondary, a non-selective mixed comprehensive that also admits pupils from neighbouring Salfords and Smallfield. Given Surrey's high population density and the town's continued housing growth, Oakwood's catchment radius has historically been tighter than rural Surrey schools, and siblings of current pupils hold a significant share of available places.
Surrey publishes detailed offer statistics each spring, including the furthest distance offered at each school. Families moving to Horley's newer developments on the town's south and east edges should verify which primary falls within their admission area using postcode-level tools, as boundary lines do not always follow development phasing.
