How to read this
Most English schools do not have a catchment area. When Holyport CofE Primary 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 and faith criteria 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.

No postcode district has its centre inside both distances.

The map above shows both, and the postcode checker answers for both.

Common questions
What is the catchment area for Holyport CofE Primary School?
Holyport CofE 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 0.85 miles away, per Windsor and Maidenhead.
How close do I need to live to get a place at Holyport CofE Primary School?
Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 0.85 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 Holyport CofE Primary School guarantee a place?
No. Admission criteria usually put looked-after children, siblings and faith criteria ahead of distance, so places can be filled before distance is reached. Councils also check that the address is genuinely where the child lives.
