Schools in Leatherhead

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Leatherhead has 24 schools in the Mole Valley district of Surrey, including 11 primaries and 3 secondaries. Surrey County Council uses a defined catchment area system for community primaries - if there are more applicants from within the catchment than places available, distance from home to school is used as the final tiebreaker.

The Leatherhead area includes Fetcham, Bookham and Ashtead, each with its own cluster of schools. Surrey's secondary schools here are non-selective comprehensives, though the Sutton grammar schools are within reachable distance for families in the south of the borough. Surrey's co-ordinated admissions scheme opens in early September each year.
