Clyst Vale Community College Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Clyst Vale Community College?
The catchment area for Clyst Vale Community College is the geographic zone Devon uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

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

The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Devon before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
