Dibden Park School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Dibden Park School?
The catchment area for Dibden Park School is the geographic zone Hampshire uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, though entry first depends on passing the selective admissions test. Hampshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Entry to Dibden Park School is selective, and applicants must pass the relevant admissions test. Among qualifying applicants, Hampshire 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 Hampshire before each admissions cycle. Verify your child's eligibility and your home address directly with the council.
