One primary in the village. No secondary in the parish. No current Ofsted grades for any of the local options in this brief. About one in six households here is raising children, and the median resident age is 53. The school question carries less weight in Bosham than in places where families are the demographic centre of gravity.
Bosham Primary School sits in the village itself, which is the straightforward part. The wider catchment pulls in rural primaries from Chidham, Funtington, Boxgrove, Lavant, Singleton, West Dean, Compton and Up Marden, and the parish of The March, each with its own church-school admissions priorities running on top of geography. Being inside the wider postcode does not put a household inside the priority intake for any of them. The catchment line for a given school can move a hundred metres between intake years, and in a village this size a hundred metres is half the village. Any buyer making a decision on a specific school needs to check the year-by-year admissions distance with Chichester District before exchanging contracts, not after.
At the primary end, the brief surfaces Bosham Primary School, Boxgrove Church of England Primary School, Chidham Parochial Primary School, Compton and Up Marden Church of England Primary School, Funtington Primary School, Lavant Primary School, Singleton Church of England Primary School, The March Church of England Primary School, and West Dean Church of England Primary School. Beyond the standard state list, the wider area carries Great Ballard School, Littlegreen Academy, and Oakwood School, which sit in the independent and specialist categories. None of the schools surfaced for the Bosham catchment in this brief carries a current Ofsted grade, which means any buyer making a decision on school quality has to read each school's own most recent inspection report rather than rely on a ranked picture. The honest position is to point at the individual reports and the local authority's published admissions data, not at any second-hand impression.
The travel times tell the rest of the story. Primary access from a typical Bosham postcode is genuinely close: about seven minutes by car, around thirteen on foot, roughly twelve by public transport. Secondary access is a different proposition: about fifteen minutes by car, half an hour by public transport, the better part of an hour on foot. A Bosham secondary-school run is going to involve a car or a long bus journey to a school outside the parish, on most school days, in most weathers. That is a structural feature of where Bosham sits in the network, not a problem any individual household can solve from their own front door. The same is true for sixth-form and college access.
The schools picture in Bosham is average for what the brief carries and silent for what it does not. A village primary at the gate, a scatter of small rural primaries within a short drive, and a secondary answer that involves leaving the parish every morning. With no current inspection grades in this brief to rank any of it, the only honest position is to send any buyer with school-age children to the inspection reports themselves, and to the admissions team at Chichester District, before reading anything else into the geography.
