Admissions and catchment
Year 3 entry · East Sussex council allocation figures, 2023–2026
Add a postcode to see where you would sit against past cut-offs.
East Sussex did not publish a usable last offer distance for this school in 2024–2026.
Why we say “Cut-off not published”
- 130 applications for 90 places in 2026 (1.4 per place).
What could change this
- We measure a straight line from your postcode centre. The council measures from your home address, sometimes along walking routes, so treat anything near the line with care.
- Cut-offs move every year with the number of applicants and siblings.
- Children with an EHC plan, looked-after children and siblings are usually offered places before distance is used.
- Past allocations never guarantee a place.
No usable distance was published, so there is nothing to draw.
