Schools in Oxted

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

Oxted is a commuter town in the Surrey Hills, with 5 primary schools and 1 secondary school administered by Surrey County Council. Surrey does not operate a county-wide selective system, though families near the Kent border should be aware of Kent's grammar school 11+ if they wish to apply to grammar schools in neighbouring Sevenoaks. Three of Oxted's schools are faith schools applying religious criteria.

Surrey County Council allocates state school places primarily by distance from the school's admissions point after sibling priority. Demand for places in Oxted can be high given the town's desirability, and families living close to school boundaries may not always secure their preferred school. Surrey publishes individual school catchment maps and oversubscription criteria each autumn.
