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.

The last-distance figure is likely to remain tight if demand holds at this level.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 51% of pupils at Green Meadows Academy are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of Leeds.
