About schools in Surrey

Most of the 524 schools listed in Surrey are primary schools. Its 56 secondary schools are where families compare options once a child finishes primary. The area also has two all-through schools, which teach every age from the early years to school-leaving age on one site.

Every school on this page is inspected by Ofsted. Its newer reports judge a school across several areas rather than giving one overall grade, while older reports still carry the previous single grade, so read the framework and the date on each page before you set two schools side by side. Where results have been published you will also find key stage 2 scores for the primary schools and Attainment 8 for the secondary schools. An inspection or a results table captures a school at one past moment, so use this page to draw up a shortlist and then visit.

Common questions about schools in Surrey

How many schools are in Surrey?
OfferDay lists 524 schools in Surrey, including 298 primary schools and 85 independent schools.
Who inspects schools in Surrey?
Every school in Surrey is inspected by Ofsted. Newer reports grade several areas of a school separately on a report card, while older reports carry a single overall grade, so check the framework and the date on each page before you compare two schools.
Which are the best schools in Surrey?
OfferDay ranks an area's schools only where enough of them have published results to compare fairly, and Surrey does not have enough to rank. Compare its schools on their Ofsted reports and, where results are published, the figures shown against each school on this page.
How many towns are in the Surrey local authority?
OfferDay groups the Surrey schools across 64 towns, listed in the schools-by-town section on this page. Any school with no town recorded in the national register is listed separately, grouped by phase, so every school in the local authority is reachable.

School details come from the Department for Education's Get Information About Schools register. Inspection outcomes come from Ofsted, and exam results from the Department for Education's school performance service. Information on this page was last updated on 28 July 2026.
