North Downs Primary School, Betchworth

From the headteacher's welcome: "North Downs is a two form entry primary school, organised across three sites in the villages of Brockham, Betchworth and Leigh, each 2-3 miles apart. We are very fortunate to have such lovely school grounds situated in beautiful villages and place a huge emphasis on learning outside the classroom."

The school runs after-school care.

Coming up: an open day on Wednesday 4 November 2026 and an open day on Saturday 14 November 2026. Check the school's website before you go, as dates can change.
