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

Admission to Staplecross Methodist Primary School is managed by East Sussex and typically includes both faith criteria and catchment area proximity. The weighting given to each criterion depends on the school's published oversubscription policy, which is reviewed annually.
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.
