Surrey County Council Consultation

We are writing to update you on East Surrey Shadow Executive meeting on 13th October 2026. As was shared, the Shadow Executive were considering the proposed relocation of Reigate Priory Junior School to a new purpose-built school at Woodhatch Place. This is following a successful Planning Permission application in July 2025 and subsequent approval of the relocation and entire building project by Surrey County Council in January 2026, all with full engagement from the Department of Education.

We have been informed that the Shadow Executive has decided to defer its decision on the building contract relating to Reigate Priory’s proposed relocation.

While this creates a short delay in the due process, the relocation proposal remains under consideration. The school welcomes the additional time for the Shadow Executive to fully familiarise themselves with the school’s challenges and constraints, and the extensive information and journey the project has entailed to date.

We would like to reassure parents, carers, staff and pupils that our priority remains providing the very best education and experience for our pupils, and that will not change regardless of the timescales involved in this process.

We will of course update you on further progress as and when it occurs.
