Good primary in Guildford or nearby

[IWannaBeLikeYou]

DS is due to start Reception next year.
We are looking to move to Guildford or nearby so I would like to concentrate on properties that are near a good primary school.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Did you realise that the applications will need to be in around half term - so you need a local address to be able to choose.

Burpham, Boxgrove, St Josephs if you're Catholic...
Off the top of my head...

I do realize that, LIZS.
If we find something we should be able to move in the next couple of months.
Is it the case that you must have lived at a certain address for a while before you can put your name down for a school?

I'm not sure what residential criteria they apply now , but you would have to have at very least exchanged or signed a lease. Also they apply catchments more rigorously , from talking to a friend of a friend who lives near Bookham, and LEA recently redefined some. You apply centrally to Surrey LEA, listing preferences in order, and certain schools (ie. the VA ones) sometimes have a separate form to be returned to them direct.

eastwick in bookham, godalming ones but these areas are obviously further away

Holy Trinity has an excellent reputation.

Have you thought of Woking? St Dunstan's if you're catholic or Horsell Village and Goldsworth primary are both excellent.

Also in Guildford there is Sandfield, St nicks which are fine.

But the top three are Pewley Down (central/ Pewley hill and parts of Shalford), Boxgrove and Burpham.

For Pewley Down you need a years lease. A lot of parents apply to PD, then get into private or move away so there tends to be quite a bit of churn. So even if your application is late, along as you are in the right catchment area then you should get a place.

Lots of nice ones in Cranleigh - St.Cuthbert Mayne (if you can get in - Catholic and waiting list), Parkmead, Cranleigh Infants. Cranleigh is 8 miles south east of Guildford. Wonersh and Shamley Green infants great too - a bit closer to G/fd too - approx 5 miles.

ALLLLLL the local mums at DD's nursery were pushing for Pewley and are extremely happy with it. I can't comment as my DD is going elsewhere
