Fulford Primary School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Fulford Primary School?

The catchment area for Fulford Primary School is the geographic zone Staffordshire 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 siblings. Staffordshire 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 Fulford Primary School is set by Staffordshire and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.

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