Cardrew Court School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Cardrew Court School?

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

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

Among qualifying applicants, Cornwall may use distance or catchment area as a tiebreaker when the school is oversubscribed. Check the admissions policy for how the selection and distance criteria interact.

The full admissions policy, including test registration dates, qualifying scores, and any distance criteria, is published by Cornwall before each admissions cycle. Verify your child's eligibility and your home address directly with the council.
