What is the catchment area for St Mark's CofE Primary School?

The catchment area for St Mark's CofE Primary School is the geographic zone Brighton and Hove uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Brighton and Hove before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
