Great Yarmouth Primary Academy and Nursery Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Great Yarmouth Primary Academy and Nursery?
The catchment area for Great Yarmouth Primary Academy and Nursery is the geographic zone Norfolk uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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

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