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

Derbyshire 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 Grindleford Primary School is set by Derbyshire and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Derbyshire before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
