Against every town in England with results; Wales publishes none.
The primary figure: 4 primaries in the town, 698 pupils in results over three years. Worcester Park and Stoneleigh has no secondaries of its own with GCSE results, so the secondary figure uses the 13 graded secondaries in and within 3 km of the town (2,730 pupils in results). Mainstream state schools only (grammar schools included); special schools, alternative provision, nurseries and 16–19 colleges are listed below but not graded. Each school’s results are compared with every school in England, then weighted by its pupils.
Each school at its address, coloured by its own letter and sized by pupils. Open a school for its own page. The dashed shape is Worcester Park and Stoneleigh’s built-up area.
Most schools give places by distance once siblings are in, so the schools nearest a home matter more than any league table.
Schools with more pupils on free school meals tend to get lower results. The dashed line is the typical school in England for each level of free school meals; the band holds the middle two-thirds. A dot above the band is doing better than schools like it.
The share of pupils on free school meals runs from 3% at The Mead Infant and Nursery School to 21% at Cuddington Community Primary School. Against schools with the same intake, Auriol Junior School does best: 74% with 6% on free school meals, where a typical school would reach 67%. 2 of 3 primaries are above the line.
| School | Free school meals | Result | Typical for that intake | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Auriol Junior SchoolKS2 % | 6% | 74% | 67% | +7 |
| Cuddington Community Primary SchoolKS2 % | 21% | 64% | 63% | +1 |

Free school meals: pupils eligible now, DfE January 2026 census. The typical-school line is a straight-line fit across every graded school in England. It describes; it doesn’t grade: the School Grade uses results alone.
Surrey County Council handles applications for every state school in Worcester Park and Stoneleigh, academies included. You apply to the council where you live, even for a school in another area.
Every school publishes its admissions rules. Children in care come first, then, at most schools, brothers and sisters of current pupils, then those who live nearest. Infant classes are limited to 30 by law. If you’re refused a place, you can appeal to an independent panel.

Pupils on roll as a share of the school’s official capacity. The black tick is 100%.
DfE register of schools (GIAS), January 2026 census. Capacity often excludes a nursery class, so a school with a nursery can show over 100%.
Each school’s own letter compares its results with every state school in England of the same phase: Key Stage 2 for primaries, GCSEs for secondaries. Open a school for its results, how its letter is worked out, Ofsted and a map.
Key result: Attainment 8 and grade 5+ English and maths (GCSEs, 2025/26 provisional) for secondaries; the share meeting the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (KS2, DfE’s three-year average) for primaries. Pupils: the January 2026 school census. No letter: an infant or first school (no KS2 tests), a new school, a small cohort DfE suppresses, or a special school, nursery or college. Independent schools aren’t included.
Each school’s latest inspection; report cards replace one-word judgements as schools are re-inspected.
Ofsted stopped giving one-word judgements in 2024. Until a school is re-inspected, its last overall judgement is its most recent single grade; a school judged years ago may have changed a lot since.
Since November 2025 Ofsted gives each area of a school one of five grades (exceptional, strong standard, expected standard, needs attention, urgent improvement) and says whether safeguarding is met, instead of one overall word. 1 of Worcester Park and Stoneleigh’s 6 state schools have a report card so far; the others show their last inspection under the old framework. Ofsted is never part of the School Grade.

Academies are state schools run by a trust rather than the council: the trust employs the staff and can set its own curriculum and term dates. Admissions still go through the council.

Worcester Park and Stoneleigh has 1 special school (Linden Bridge: 145 pupils). A special-school place isn’t applied for like a mainstream one: for a child with an education, health and care plan (EHCP), Surrey County Council names the school in the plan, after asking the family’s preference. These schools have no letter, because their results don’t compare with mainstream schools’. Their cards ↑
Surrey County Council’s SEND Local Offer lists support beyond these schools.
