The circle is 1.421079448718108 miles, the distance the school admitted from in 2026/27. Real admission areas are not circular: this is the distance, not a boundary.

This is not a catchment area. Most English schools do not have one. When Riverbridge 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. 1.421079448718108 miles was last year's outcome, not a boundary and not a promise.

Common questions

What is the catchment area for Riverbridge Primary School?

Riverbridge 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 2026/27 lived 1.421079448718108 miles away, per Surrey.

How close do I need to live to get a place at Riverbridge Primary School?

Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 1.421079448718108 miles was enough in 2026/27, and at 109% 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 Riverbridge 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.
