Which primary schools in Uckfield have the best SATs results?
Of the 13 primary schools in Uckfield with 2025 Key Stage 2 results, the highest shares of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading and maths were at Blackboys Church of England Primary School (91% in reading, 91% in maths); Framfield Church of England Primary School (93% in reading, 79% in maths); and Bonners CofE School & Nursery (76% in reading, 94% in maths).

Are there grammar schools in Uckfield?
No. None of the state secondary schools in Uckfield selects pupils by ability, so every state secondary here is comprehensive.

Do schools in Uckfield have catchment areas?
Most state schools in Uckfield have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, East Sussex allocates places on its published criteria - usually looked-after children first, then siblings, then home-to-school distance - so the practical cut-off moves each year. Each school's page here shows an estimate of its catchment radius.
How do I apply for a school place in Uckfield?
Apply to East Sussex through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts. Independent schools run their own admissions, so apply to those directly.
