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

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