Plumpton in context

Food and drink on the high street
| Registered premises | Count |
|---|---|
| Restaurants and cafés (28.2 per 10,000 residents) | 1 |
| Pubs, bars and nightclubs (28.2 per 10,000 residents) | 1 |
Counts are registered food premises in the Plumpton built-up area (355 residents at the 2021 census), from the FSA food hygiene register, extracted 17 August 2026. The boundary is drawn from where the buildings are, so these figures cover the town itself rather than the wider council area, and no total is shown because the register also lists premises nobody would call a venue: school kitchens, care homes, warehouses.

Schools
| Open establishments | Count |
|---|---|
| Sixth forms and 16+ colleges | 1 |
Open schools registered in the Plumpton built-up area, from the Department for Education's Get Information about Schools register, extracted 24 August 2026. Each school counts once: an independent special school appears under special schools, and the phase rows are state schools. No inspection grades are shown because Ofsted stopped issuing single-word overall judgements in 2024 and the register no longer carries them; current inspection reports are on Ofsted's own site. England only: the register lists Welsh schools without phase detail.
