Brede Primary School
About Brede Primary School
Parents considering Brede Primary School will be reassured by the strong signals of local demand. The school was oversubscribed for the 2025/26 intake, with 25 applications for just 11 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 2.27. Of those 25 applications, 10 were first-preference choices, and all 10 received offers, meaning every family who put Brede as their top pick secured a spot. This level of competition suggests a school that local families trust and want to be part of. The school is a state-funded, mixed primary for children aged 4 to 11, located in the Rother borough of East Sussex. With 101 pupils on roll against a capacity of 140, there is some physical room to grow, though the oversubscription data shows that demand currently outstrips supply. Headteacher Julie Knock leads a school that, in its most recent graded inspection, was rated Good overall, with Good marks for leadership and management, early years provision, and behaviour and attitudes.
