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.

Ashdown Primary School

Community school · 0.2 mi

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 Dawn Gibbs
Address	Luxford Road, Crowborough, East Sussex

Area deprivation	Quintile 2 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
Published admission distance	0.93 mi (varies)
URN	114392
Distance	0.2 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.
