Common questions
What is the catchment area for Edgebury Primary School?
Edgebury Primary School does not have one in the sense most people mean. Like most English schools, an oversubscribed year offers places outward from the school until they run out. The nearest thing to an answer: the furthest child admitted in 2025/26 lived 0.484 miles away, per Bromley.
How close do I need to live to get a place at Edgebury Primary School?
Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 0.484 miles was enough in 2025/26. The distance moves every year with the number of applications, so treat last year's figure as evidence, not a promise.
Does buying a house near Edgebury Primary School guarantee a place?
No. Admission criteria usually put looked-after children, siblings ahead of distance, so places can be filled before distance is reached. Councils also check that the address is genuinely where the child lives.
