Ringmer Primary and Nursery School was not oversubscribed for September 2026: all 44 families who put it first were offered a place. The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2025 lived 2.47 miles away in a straight line — that distance is not a fixed catchment and moves each year. When comparing schools, it is still worth visiting in person to see whether the atmosphere and approach suit your child.
