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

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