Flushing School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Flushing School?
The catchment area for Flushing School is the geographic zone Cornwall uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and, in most years, faith-based criteria. Cornwall publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Flushing School is managed by Cornwall and typically includes both faith criteria and catchment area proximity. The weighting given to each criterion depends on the school's published oversubscription policy, which is reviewed annually.
