Getting a place

Last place offered lived
0.69 mi
straight line, 2026 intake · 1107 m

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

Woodingdean Primary School at a glance

Located in Brighton and Hove, Woodingdean Primary School is a primary school, classified by the DfE as a converter academy. The school educates roughly 373 pupils aged 4 to 11. Ofsted judged the school to be 'Good' at its most recent inspection. In the most recent Key Stage 2 SATs, 70% of pupils reached the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined — above the national average of 61%. Results have held broadly steady on the previous year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it around the middle of primary schools nationally.

Pupils achieved an average scaled score of 106 in reading and 106 in maths (national averages are about 105 and 104). 5% reached the higher standard across all three subjects (around 8% do so nationally). The council's own allocation figures show the last child offered a place for 2026 lived 0.69 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. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
