Beckington Church First School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Beckington Church First School?
The catchment area for Beckington Church First School is the geographic zone Somerset uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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