Green Meadows Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Green Meadows Academy?
The catchment area for Green Meadows Academy is the geographic zone Leeds uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable 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. Leeds publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Green Meadows Academy sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Leeds. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.
