Barlby High School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Barlby High School?
The catchment area for Barlby High School is the geographic zone North Yorkshire uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

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