Catchment area

Catchment area: not named in the council's figures. Places by distance, last offered at 0.471 miles for 2026 entry.

Admissions cutoff distance: Year 3

Last child offered a place under the distance criterion (2026 entry) lived within 0.471 miles

measured by shortest walking route.

Cutoff by admission criterion (2026 entry)

1 Junior Transfer - Attending the Infant Phase
3.582 miles

Places are offered in the order printed above, Junior Transfer - Attending the Infant Phase first and distance last. A wider figure under one of them is not a wider catchment: it is how far the school reached among children who already met that criterion, before distance decided anything. A child living closer than that figure, who met none of those criteria, was still offered a place only within the distance cutoff above.

Premium shows the exact distance behind every year back to 2021.
