Roedean School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Roedean School?

The catchment area for Roedean School is the geographic zone Brighton and Hove uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

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

Among qualifying applicants, Brighton and Hove may use distance or catchment area as a tiebreaker when the school is oversubscribed. Check the admissions policy for how the selection and distance criteria interact.
