Haywood Village Academy Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Haywood Village Academy?

The catchment area for Haywood Village Academy is the geographic zone North Somerset 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 siblings. North Somerset publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

As an academy, Haywood Village Academy sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with North Somerset. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.

Currently oversubscribed: 445 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 420 places. Living within the catchment area is especially important for this school.

The last-distance figure is likely to remain tight if demand holds at this level.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 17.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, below the national average. The school draws primarily from a lower-deprivation part of North Somerset.
