What is the catchment area for Austin Friars?
The catchment area for Austin Friars is the geographic zone Cumberland uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

Cumberland 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 Cumberland before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
