Accepted Answer

None of the 4 graded schools in Shepperton currently holds an Outstanding rating. 4 are rated Good, so 100% are Good or better. Ofsted stopped giving single-word overall grades in September 2024, so these are the grades from each school's last full inspection.

Question 3

Which primary schools in Shepperton have the best SATs results?

Accepted Answer

Of the 2 primary schools in Shepperton with 2025 Key Stage 2 results, the highest shares of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading and maths were at Saxon Primary School (83% in reading, 80% in maths); and St Nicholas CofE Primary School (80% in reading, 76% in maths). Small schools can swing a long way from one year to the next, because each pupil is a large share of the result.

Question 4

Are there grammar schools in Shepperton?

Accepted Answer

How close do you need to live to get into schools in Shepperton?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the school, and the cut-off moves every year with the number of applications. Surrey published how far the last place offered went at this school: Thamesmead School, 3.47 km for 2026 entry. These are the authority's own figures, not fixed boundaries.

Question 6

How do I apply for a school place in Shepperton?

Accepted Answer

Apply to Surrey through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts.
