Schools in Horsham

West Sussex's most substantial market town, Horsham occupies the upper River Arun valley at the southern fringe of the Weald, with around 51,000 residents spread across the borough's varied residential quarters. A market has been held here since the thirteenth century. The medieval Causeway, lined with some of the oldest preserved street frontages in West Sussex, anchors the historic core, with Strood Park and Horsham town centre extending the residential range into newer suburban districts beyond.

Roffey is widely regarded as one of Horsham's most school-competitive corners for state-school catchments, while Broadbridge Heath draws families targeting primary places on the western edge. Southern trains from Horsham station reach London Bridge or London Victoria in under an hour on the Arun Valley and Thameslink routes.
