Schools in Arlesey

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Arlesey in Central Bedfordshire has 2 schools in the catchment.school database: Etonbury Academy (secondary) and Gothic Mede Academy (primary). Both are academies and set their own admissions criteria independently of Central Bedfordshire Council's standard distance-based tiebreakers.

As a commuter town within reach of Hitchin and Biggleswade, Arlesey's schools draw from a wide surrounding area. Families in Arlesey should read Etonbury Academy's published admissions policy carefully, as academy criteria may define catchment zones or priority areas differently from the LA model. Neither school was at or above published capacity at last count, though demand can vary.
