Schools in Woking

Today the borough covers 64 square kilometres.

Woking's Victorian railway station and mid-1860s residential development in north-west Surrey anchored the town's expansion from scattered heath across sandy soils that once made this the least populated corner of the entire county. West End is among the most sought-after pockets for primary families in Surrey, with St John's and Kingfield forming the school-competitive neighbourhoods that sustained growth into the twentieth century. The Basingstoke Canal and Wey Navigation shaped early commercial character, while the London to Southampton railway line became the defining transport spine. Horsell and Pyrford joined as later additions, extending the school-competitive residential reach. South Western Main Line services from Woking station reach London Waterloo in around fifty minutes.
