Broadway Infant School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Broadway Infant School?

The catchment area for Broadway Infant School is the geographic zone South Gloucestershire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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

As an academy, Broadway Infant School sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with South Gloucestershire. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.

Currently oversubscribed: 180 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 180 places. Living within the catchment area is especially important for this school.
