Grange Moor Primary School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Grange Moor Primary School?

The catchment area for Grange Moor Primary School is the geographic zone Kirklees uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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