Gunnerside Methodist Primary School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Gunnerside Methodist Primary School?

The catchment area for Gunnerside Methodist Primary School is the geographic zone North Yorkshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary 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, in most years, faith-based criteria. North Yorkshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

Admission to Gunnerside Methodist Primary School is managed by North Yorkshire and typically includes both faith criteria and catchment area proximity. The weighting given to each criterion depends on the school's published oversubscription policy, which is reviewed annually.

The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by North Yorkshire before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
