Riverbridge Primary School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Riverbridge Primary School?
The catchment area for Riverbridge Primary School is the geographic zone Surrey uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

Riverbridge Primary School has a published admission number of 630 places. 691 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 110%. At 110% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Surrey allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 20.9% of pupils at Riverbridge Primary School are eligible for free school meals, broadly in line with the national average. This reflects a mixed catchment population across Surrey.
