Estcots Primary School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Estcots Primary School?

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

West Sussex publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

The catchment area for Estcots Primary School is set by West Sussex and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.
