Bovey Tracey Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Bovey Tracey Academy?
The catchment area for Bovey Tracey Academy is the geographic zone Devon uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

Devon publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Bovey Tracey Academy sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Devon. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Devon before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
