  Estimated admission distance	0.36 mi Estimated
  URN	114435
  Distance	1.1 mi

  East Sussex hasn't published a real admission-distance figure, so this is a modelled estimate instead, built from local Census population density for this school's age group versus its intake size, the same class of technique other school-search sites use as their default catchment indicator when no official figure exists. Not based on real pupil addresses (nobody outside the school/council has access to that), and meaningfully less reliable than a published figure.

Willingdon Primary School

Community school · 1.2 mi

Ofsted-rated Good.

• Details Mixed +

  Phase	Primary
  Type	Community school
  Age range	4–11
  Gender	Mixed
  Sixth form	Does not have a sixth form
  Religious character	No religious character
  Admissions policy	Not applicable
  Local authority	East Sussex
  Head teacher	Mrs Gemma Roxburgh
  Address	Rapsons Road, Willingdon, Eastbourne, East Sussex
  Phone	01323482619
  Website	https://willingdonprimary.co.uk/
  Area deprivation	Quintile 2 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Published admission distance	0.95 mi (varies)
  URN	114422
  Distance	1.2 mi

  Published admission distance is a real figure from East Sussex council's own published records: how far the furthest-admitted pupil lived last year under the distance criterion. Drawn as a circle for simplicity, since real admission areas aren't circular, but the distance itself isn't modelled or guessed. It shifts every year with demand and isn't a guarantee.
