What is the catchment area for Greenbank Primary School?
The catchment area for Greenbank Primary School is the geographic zone Rochdale uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

Rochdale 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 Greenbank Primary School is set by Rochdale and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.
