Abingdon School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Abingdon School?

The catchment area for Abingdon School is the geographic zone Oxfordshire uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

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

The catchment area for Abingdon School is set by Oxfordshire and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.

The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Oxfordshire before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
