Moving house is all about setting down roots, finding a community, and creating the kind of everyday life where school runs, after-school clubs and weekend adventures all fall into place. In Sussex, with its blend of lively towns, picturesque villages and a coastline loved by generations, being in the right school catchment is often just as important as the house itself.
Sussex continues to draw families who are looking for the best of both worlds. With its blend of countryside walks, sandy shores and easy access to the capital, it offers space to unwind without losing those all-important city connections. Factor in a wide choice of well-regarded schools, and Sussex becomes a place where family life can feel both rooted and full of possibility.
At Saint Georges Park and Foxhills, families will discover a welcoming community located on the outskirts of the leafy West Sussex villages of Eastergate and Barnham, not far from the local coastline renowned for its variety and natural beauty. A range of well-regarded schools are also close at hand, including nurturing pre-schools and primaries like Aldingbourne Primary, Hop Scotch Pre School and Barnham Primary School, providing a supportive backdrop for children as they grow and learn.
Life at Rectory Meadows combines all the charm of Lewes’ historic streets and the beauty of the rolling hills of South Downs National Park, with the practicality of being near many respected schools, Chailey School, Plumpton Primary and Plumpton College. The town is known for its strong educational reputation, giving families the confidence that their children will thrive both in and out of the classroom.
Both The Limes in Buxted and The Brambles in Crowborough offer a wonderful balance of countryside living and convenient access to schools. Well-regarded primaries, Buxted CofE Primary and Jarvis Brook Primary, sit just moments away from the developments, whilst excellent secondary schools can be reached with ease, making these sites especially appealing for families at varying stages of their life journey.
Nestled in the heart of Wivelsfield Green, Bluebell Gardens is surrounded by a close-knit community and schools that are celebrated for their welcoming environments, including Downlands Community School and Harlands Primary School. Additionally, independent schools Worth School and Handcross Park School, are located nearby, so any educational requirement is catered for. Families here can enjoy a pace of life that feels both relaxed and connected, with quality education right on the doorstep.
At The Woodlands in Sayers Common, families benefit from a leafy, landscaped setting that combines relaxed living with the charm of strong local schools. With options praised for their caring ethos and supportive approach, including St Margarets CofE and Elms Farm Primary, parents can feel confident their children are in safe hands while enjoying all the area has to offer.
In Sussex, catchments aren’t just boundaries, they’re starting points for family routines, friendships and the reassurance of knowing children are learning in the right setting.
