Schools in Billingshurst

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

Billingshurst is a large village in the Horsham district of West Sussex with six schools covering primary and secondary phases, plus a special educational needs provision. The area's schools average a 90% fill rate, with no individual schools formally oversubscribed at the time of the last data collection. Half of the schools with Ofsted ratings have achieved Good grades.

West Sussex County Council coordinates admissions for maintained schools. Distance from home to the school gate is the primary tie-breaker after mandatory categories (looked-after children, siblings, statement of special need naming the school). The area's secondary school, Weald School, draws from a wide rural catchment encompassing surrounding villages including Kirdford and Plaistow.
