How to read this

Most English schools do not have a catchment area. When Newdigate Primary and Nursery School is oversubscribed, places go outward from the school until they run out, so the distance moves each year with how many families applied and where they lived.

Distances are measured from the postcode's centre, not a front door; a postcode covers a few houses. Siblings, looked-after children come before distance, so a school can fill before distance counts at all.

Real admission areas are not circular: the circle is the distance, not a boundary.

The address on the closing date is the one the council uses. How admissions work.

One published year so far: 2025/26, from Warwickshire. With two or more, the map can draw any of them.

Common questions

What is the catchment area for Newdigate Primary and Nursery School?

Newdigate Primary and Nursery 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 1.58 miles away, per Warwickshire.

How close do I need to live to get a place at Newdigate Primary and Nursery School?

Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 1.58 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 Newdigate Primary and Nursery 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.
