Catmose Primary Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Catmose Primary?
The catchment area for Catmose Primary is the geographic zone Rutland uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and siblings. Rutland publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Catmose Primary sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Rutland. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.

Families within the school's historical catchment boundary are well placed, but a boundary check with the council is recommended before applying.
