Cheswardine Primary and Nursery School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Cheswardine Primary and Nursery School?
The catchment area for Cheswardine Primary and Nursery School is the geographic zone Shropshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.
