Staines, Spelthorne: Schools
Schools
Staines has a solid mix of state and independent schools, with several rated Good by Ofsted. One primary school stands out with results well above the national average.
You'll find Riverbridge Primary School (an academy with a nursery), Our Lady of the Rosary Primary School, and Staines Preparatory School, the local independent option for ages 3 to 11.
Our Lady of the Rosary is the one worth your attention. Its March 2026 Ofsted report rated every category — achievement, curriculum, and leadership — at strong standard. The KS2 results prove it: 89% of pupils met expected standards in reading, writing and maths. That's well above the national average of around 61%.
Town Farm Primary nearby also got a Good rating at its 2025 inspection, with 77% at expected standard — another strong performer in the neighbourhood.
For secondary education, The Magna Carta School is the local academy. Strode's College in Egham handles further education for post-16 students.
