Buriton Primary School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Buriton Primary School?

The catchment area for Buriton Primary School is the geographic zone Hampshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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