Drayton Manor High School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Drayton Manor High School?

The catchment area for Drayton Manor High School is the geographic zone Ealing uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

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