Schools in Redhill
Redhill has 18 schools — 11 primaries and 3 secondaries — within Surrey County Council's co-ordinated admissions scheme. Eight of the 18 schools operate as academies with independent admissions policies, and 4 have a faith character. The area sits within Reigate and Banstead district and benefits from good transport links into London, driving strong demand for school places.
The main secondary schools in Redhill are St Bede's School, Carrington School, and Furzefield Primary and Secondary (which operates through Outwood Grange Academies Trust). Surrey County Council publishes its co-ordinated admissions scheme each September; secondary preference forms are due in October with national offer day in March. Families should note that Surrey's oversubscription criteria for community schools prioritise looked-after children, then siblings, then distance — and that Redhill's proximity to the M25 and commuter belt means last-offered distances at popular primaries have shortened considerably over the past decade.
