Admissions
St Charles Borromeo Catholic Primary School was founded by the Catholic Church to provide education for children of Catholic families. The school is conducted by its governing body as part of the Catholic Church in accordance with the trust deed of the Diocese of Arundel & Brighton, its articles of association and seeks at all times to be a witness to Jesus Christ. As a Catholic school, the governors aim to provide a Catholic education for all pupils. At a Catholic school, Catholic doctrine and practice permeate every aspect of the school’s activity. The governors ask all parents applying for a place to respect this ethos and its importance to the school community.
Although Catholic children have priority of admission, this does not affect the right of an applicant who is not Catholic to apply for a place for their child at the school. The school welcomes applications from those of other denominations and faiths, or of none.
The school was set up primarily to serve the Catholic community in the parish of Christ the Prince of Peace, Weybridge.

School Admissions in the new parish of Weybridge
Bishop Richard published a new Pastoral Plan for the Diocese of Arundel & Brighton in January 2024. Called “The Word Who is Life: The Call to Mission”, the Plan creates vital new pathways for evangelisation, enabling diocesan clergy and lay people to collaborate more closely to meet the sacramental and formation needs of their faith communities through new parish structures centred on mission.
The Plan marks an important new stage in the development of diocesan parish structures, with the 11 former deaneries of the Diocese becoming 11 new parishes in the care of a moderator and group of priests working together "in solidum", with the group of priests as a whole - and each priest individually - responsible for the pastoral care of the parish.

The new Catholic Parish of Weybridge was formed on Sunday 7 December 2025. It includes 10 churches and Mass centres along with seven maintained primary and secondary schools and two independent schools.
What this means for school admissions
Although the geography of the areas served by individual schools is unlikely to change under the new parish structure, the terminology as a new parish is inaugurated is at odds with that already published in school admissions policies for 2026/27, e.g. language of the former parish areas (the neighbourhood around one church) and deaneries.
Legally, school admission policies cannot be changed once determined, therefore when Governing Bodies and Trusts carry out their ranking of applications for admission of pupils into school for September 2026, schools in Weybridge will be ranking according to the former terminology as it was when the policy was determined, not as it is now. References to parishes will follow the area identified in the published individual school policy for 2026/27.
