How places are allocated in West Sussex

Primary schools: 'The majority of West Sussex Schools have a catchment area' (not guaranteed, nearest-with-space is the fallback). (source)

Most schools use the local authority's default scheme rather than a school-specific catchment map — see each school's page for its own designated/catchment area where one is published.
