School applications

We've matched the postcode to West Sussex.

You apply through this education local authority even if the school is in another council area.

Arun is the district council. School applications go through West Sussex.

Last published allocation

None of the schools listed here has a published last-distance figure, so we cannot compare a postcode with last year's allocation. We do not draw catchment maps in this list; where we hold a council's map, it is on the school's page.

Apply for a primary place via West Sussex

GOV.UK is the official apply and admissions handoff. We do not link a generic council homepage. Per-LA composite prospectus URLs are not in the API yet.
