Bonners CofE School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Bonners CofE School?

The catchment area for Bonners CofE School is the geographic zone East Sussex uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

Bonners CofE School: heavily oversubscribed at 135% capacity

Bonners CofE School has a published admission number of 105 places. 142 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 135%. At 135% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. East Sussex allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 21.3% of pupils at Bonners CofE School are eligible for free school meals, broadly in line with the national average. This reflects a mixed catchment population across East Sussex.
