Bembridge Church of England Primary School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Bembridge Church of England Primary School?
The catchment area for Bembridge Church of England Primary School is the geographic zone Isle of Wight uses to prioritise admissions when this primary 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. Isle of Wight publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Bembridge Church of England Primary School is managed by Isle of Wight 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.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Isle of Wight before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
