Camberley Schools Guide: Secondary Schools, Admissions and How to Apply

Who handles school places in Camberley?

Surrey County Council runs school admissions for the county, including Camberley, Frimley, Bagshot, Lightwater and Mytchett. Its school admissions pages cover applications for primary, infant and junior schools, secondary schools and in-year applications outside the normal round. You apply online through the e-admissions portal at eadmissions.org.uk, and the council asks you to read its admissions webpages first.

What are the deadlines for 2027 entry?

As published on Surrey County Council's apply for a school place page:

• Secondary school applications close on 31 October 2026.
• Primary school applications open on 2 November 2026 and close on 15 January 2027.

For national offer day dates and the number of preferences you can name, check the council's pages. Deadlines are strict, so apply before the closing date rather than on it.

What about in-year applications and appeals?

If you need a place outside the normal round, for example after moving house, Surrey describes a step-by-step in-year process: check eligibility, research schools and complete the required documents before applying. The council also has pages on admission appeals, including guidance on what to do before you appeal, an appeal form and an appeal guide. Children with an Education Health and Care plan follow a separate admissions process, according to the council.

Which secondary schools are in Camberley and Frimley?

These three schools have their own websites and are in the Camberley area. Each school's admissions policy, including how places are offered, is on its own site, so read it before applying.

• Collingwood College, Kingston Road, Camberley GU15 4AE. Its website lists ages 11 to 18 and a sixth form, and has an admissions page.
• Tomlinscote School, Tomlinscote Way, Frimley GU16 8PY. Its website describes an 11 to 16 school with no sixth form, and says it is part of Weydon Multi Academy Trust following a merger on 1 April 2026. It has pages on Year 7 admissions and in-year admissions.
• Kings International College, Watchetts Drive, Camberley GU15 2PQ. Its website names Bourne Education Trust and has an admissions page.

This is not a ranking, and inspection grades change. There may be other secondary and sixth form options within reach, especially for Bagshot, Lightwater and Mytchett, so use the council's directory too.

How do I find primary schools?

Surrey's directory of schools lets you find a state school by name, type, location or age range, and links to an A to Z list and an interactive map. The council's pages also mention a school map tool to search by location and catchment area.
