Feeder Schools
Our main feeder school is the Orchard School. We work very closely with them and the transition between both schools is seamless. The Year 2 children from the Orchard School join us for various events, such as the Christmas Year 4 Production, Science day & Year 5 sports day. Mrs Maclean and Mrs Cary work closely together to ensure that there is consistency across both schools. Have a look at our Joint School Brochure.
The majority of our children move on to Heathside Walton-On-Thames and Esher Church of England High School. We also have many children who go to a range of private schools within Surrey such as Claremont Fan Court School, Cobham Free School, Halliford School, Kingston Grammar School, Reed's School, St George's School, St John's School, and Surbiton High School.
