Healing Academy Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Healing Academy?

The catchment area for Healing Academy is the geographic zone North East Lincolnshire uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

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