How to read this

Most English schools do not have a catchment area. When Chepping View Primary Academy 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.

Where Chepping View Primary Academy and Great Marlow School are both in reach

Both distances are drawn on the map above. Great Marlow School admitted from 0.65 miles in 2026/27, published by Buckinghamshire. Its own page has the rest of its figures.

No postcode district has its centre inside both distances. The two schools admit from 0.07 and 0.65 miles, and the ground those circles share holds no district centre, which is a fact about where the centres fall rather than about any one address. The map above shows both, and the postcode checker answers for both.

Sign up to save both schools and be told when either council republishes the distance these answers rest on.

Drop Great Marlow School and go back to one school.

If the answer is no, you can appeal. In Buckinghamshire, 67 of 496 secondary appeals succeeded in 2025 (13.5%; England 19.9%), counted for all the council's schools together. How every council compares.

Common questions

What is the catchment area for Chepping View Primary Academy?

Chepping View Primary Academy 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 2026/27 lived 0.07 miles away, per Buckinghamshire.

How close do I need to live to get a place at Chepping View Primary Academy?

Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 0.07 miles was enough in 2026/27, and at 100% full the school has little slack. 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 Chepping View Primary Academy 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.
