Providing good and outstanding secondary school places for every family

All secondary schools in Esher and Walton constituency are rated Ofsted 'Good' or 'Outstanding'. As part of Our Plan, we are increasing the number of good and outstanding secondary school places for local families.

Creating two new secondary schools

We supported the founding of Cobham Free School in 2011 under Wave 2 of the Conservative Government’s Free Schools programme. Since 2011, the school has undergone multiple expansions and now caters for 1,064 students.

In 2021, we helped deliver the new, expanded Cobham Free School site at Munro House, creating an extra 495 additional “Good” school places for local students.

Under Our Plan, we are also working to deliver Heathside Walton School on its permanent site in 2023. Heathside Walton will create 180 more places each year after 2023.
