What is the catchment area for Bourton Meadow Academy?
The catchment area for Bourton Meadow Academy is the geographic zone Buckinghamshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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