Bramber Primary School
About Bramber Primary School
Bramber Primary School in Worthing is a state primary for mixed-gender pupils aged 4 to 11, currently home to 211 children against a capacity of 218. That near-full roll suggests a settled local reputation, and the demand is clearly there: for the 2025/26 intake, the school received 69 applications for just 28 places, with 27 of those going to first-preference families. That works out at roughly 2.5 applicants per place, a healthy oversubscription ratio for a primary in West Sussex. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals sits at 8.1%, which is notably lower than the national average for primary schools (typically around 23-24%), reflecting the relatively affluent catchment. The school is led by headteacher Tracy Scott and has no religious character, so it draws from a broad cross-section of the local community rather than a specific faith group.
