Surrey School Catchment Areas

Finding the right catchment in Surrey means weighing 297 primary schools and 56 secondaries against where you can realistically live — distance criteria tend to bite hardest in the council's more popular towns.

School density is highest in Guildford and Woking — parents in rural parts of Surrey should check the exact distance-offered figure from the previous year before banking on proximity alone.

Selective schools are part of the mix in Surrey — for those, passing the admissions test comes first and catchment distance only applies as a tiebreaker.

The catchment boundary for any given school is defined in the council's annual admissions booklet — we link to that search for every Surrey school below.
