Aurora Poppyfield School
Surrey, South East · KT24 5JP
With just 34 pupils on roll, Aurora Poppyfield School is among the smallest independent schools in Surrey, offering a notably intimate setting for mixed 11-plus entry. A school of this size lends itself to close attention and a tight-knit community, where pupils are likely to be known individually rather than as part of a large year group. It is led by headteacher Mr David Thomas and inspected by the Independent Schools Inspectorate.
