Worth School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Worth School?

The catchment area for Worth School is the geographic zone West Sussex uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable 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.
