Midhurst CofE Primary School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Midhurst CofE Primary School?
The catchment area for Midhurst CofE 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.
