Elm Park Primary School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Elm Park Primary School?

The catchment area for Elm Park Primary School is the geographic zone South Gloucestershire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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

The catchment area for Elm Park Primary School is set by South Gloucestershire and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.
