Brambles School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Brambles School?

The catchment area for Brambles School is the geographic zone Tameside uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

Tameside publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

The catchment area for Brambles School is set by Tameside and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.

The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Tameside before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
