Admissions
Although we are a foundation school and therefore manage our own admissions, all applications must be made through Surrey admissions.
Tours and Open Mornings
We are keen to give prospective parents an opportunity to come for a tour of our wonderful school. We update this page with any upcoming Open Morning dates. Our Open Mornings provide an opportunity for you to see our classrooms in session and talk with Year 6s about their experiences at Tadworth Primary.
Our next Open Morning is on 16th July 2025 (TBC).
Please e-mail us your interest (including Open Morning in the subject line of the email).
If you are unable to make our Open Morning or would prefer to visit our school at another time, you can contact us to arrange a tour. These normally run on Monday mornings. To register your interest please contact the front office by emailing info@tadworthps.surrey.sch.uk or calling on 01737 354541.
In the meantime, we hope that you will be able to get a feel for our school from the information on our website including a video of our Reception/Early Years provision on our 'Prospective Parents' page.
How distance is measured - Find a School
Within our admission policy we take into account an applicant's nearest school. Distances are measured in a straight line from the address point of the child's home address to the nearest official school gate for pupils to use. (The official gates are located in Heathcote and Tadorne Road.) This is calculated by the Surrey School map published on Surrey County Council’s website which can be found here.
