Harris Academy Morden Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Harris Academy Morden?
The catchment area for Harris Academy Morden is the geographic zone Merton uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

Merton publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

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