Why your views matter

We have a statutory duty to consult on admission arrangements if we intend to make a change.

The changes being proposed are as follows:

1. Reigate Priory – reduction in published admission number for Year 3 from 150 to 120

2. Audley Primary School – introduction of published admission number for Year 3 of 2

What happens next

Thank you for taking the time to respond to the consultation on admission arrangements for 2026.

After the closing date, responses will be collated and presented to the County Council's decision-making Cabinet on 28 January 2025. It will decide whether to proceed with the proposed changes as well as determining the admission arrangements for all community and voluntary controlled schools for which no changes are proposed. Cabinet’s decision will then need to be ratified by the full County Council on 4 February 2025. Once determined the final admission arrangements for all community and voluntary controlled schools for 2026 will be placed on Surrey's website at www.surreycc.gov.uk/admissions.
