Applications to join Reception in September 2026 are administered through West Sussex County Council. You can select Bohunt Horsham as your first preference. Our admissions policy for 2026/2027 shows that whilst we don’t operate a catchment area, it is children who live nearest to the permanent site on Bailey Road who will be given priority.
If your child is allocated a place with us to start in September 2026, there will be opportunities to visit the school as part of the transition process.
“We can’t thank you all enough for the most wonderful transition events you’ve put on for the children. I feel incredibly lucky that Lily is part of this amazing school.”
