Apex Primary School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Apex Primary School?
The catchment area for Apex Primary School is the geographic zone Redbridge uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and, in most years, faith-based criteria. Redbridge publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Apex Primary School is managed by Redbridge and typically includes both faith criteria and catchment area proximity. The weighting given to each criterion depends on the school's published oversubscription policy, which is reviewed annually.

At 110% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Redbridge allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance.
