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

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

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