Hawkes Farm Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Hawkes Farm Academy?
The catchment area for Hawkes Farm Academy is the geographic zone East Sussex uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

East Sussex publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Hawkes Farm Academy sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with East Sussex. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by East Sussex before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
