Good, and the county does most of the work before you've unpacked. More than nine in ten graded Surrey schools are good or better. The village has its own primary on the main road. The nearest secondary is a bus ride, not a walk. Parents here get to worry about admissions, not quality.
Ofsted has graded 159 schools and settings across Surrey, and 147 of them are rated good or outstanding, which is more than nine in ten. Thirty hold an outstanding grade. At the other end, 7 are rated requires improvement and 5 inadequate. These counts cover the whole county, not Brookwood alone, so they describe the pool a family is drawing from rather than any one school's report. Another 194 settings carry no published grade yet and sit outside those figures entirely.
The village school is Brookwood Primary School on Connaught Road, open since 1906 and still putting a badger on the uniform, even though the village name almost certainly has nothing to do with badgers. Etymology lost; the badger stayed. Government journey-time modelling from 2019 puts the nearest primary about 17 minutes' walk from the typical home, 12 minutes by public transport or 8 by car, which makes the school run the kind that doesn't need a satnav.
Beyond the village, Pirbright Village Primary School and Bisley CofE Primary School sit in the neighbouring villages, with Holy Trinity CofE Primary School and St Lawrence CofE Primary School among the other primaries in reach. Church schools often weigh faith criteria in their admissions, so read each policy before assuming the nearest one is yours.
Secondary school is where the car keys come out. The same 2019 modelling puts the nearest secondary about 45 minutes on foot, 28 minutes by public transport or 12 by car. Gordon's School is the named secondary in the area. That journey is fine for a teenager with a bus pass and a tolerance for mornings, and a daily negotiation for everyone else.
None of this is a guarantee of a place. Living near a named school does not secure admission, and Surrey's admissions rules decide the offer, not the estate agent's description of the house as being "close to excellent schools". Parents who buy on proximity alone and skip the admission criteria tend to learn about oversubscription from a letter. Check each school's own policy, and its latest Ofsted report, for the exact address before anything is signed.
For a family, schools are one of Brookwood's real strengths: the county standard is high, the primary is on the doorstep, and the only serious work left is reading the admissions small print.
