Common questions
What is the catchment area for Turners Hill Church of England Primary School?

How close do I need to live to get a place at Turners Hill Church of England Primary School?
Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 1.5057290566319113 miles was enough in 2025/26, 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 Turners Hill Church of England 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.
