Area deprivation	Quintile 1 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
Estimated admission distance	0.55 mi Estimated
URN	139879
Distance	2.7 mi

West 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.

Westdene Primary School

Community school · 2.8 mi

Details Mixed +

Phase	Primary
Type	Community school
Age range	3–11
Gender	Mixed
Sixth form	Does not have a sixth form
Religious character	No religious character
Admissions policy	Not applicable
Local authority	Brighton and Hove
Head teacher	Mr Ian Lopatin
Address	Bankside, Westdene, Brighton, East Sussex
Phone	01273916618
Website	https://westdeneprimary.co.uk/
Area deprivation	Quintile 1 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
Published admission distance	1.41 mi (2025/26)
URN	114380
Distance	2.8 mi

Published admission distance is a real figure from Brighton and Hove 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.
