Abbey Primary School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Abbey Primary School?
The catchment area for Abbey Primary School is the geographic zone Sutton uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

Sutton publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
