Harris Academy Tottenham Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Harris Academy Tottenham?
Harris Academy Tottenham is a special school in London, Haringey, and it does not use a standard catchment area. Haringey allocates places through each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) rather than home-to-school distance, so placement depends on assessed need rather than a geographic boundary.
Admission to Harris Academy Tottenham follows a different process from mainstream schools. Haringey assesses each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) to determine appropriate placement. Catchment area does not apply in the same way as mainstream admissions.
For more information on how Haringey assesses EHCP placements and which schools are named, contact the council's SEND team directly. The council must publish its Local Offer explaining available provision.
