Heworth Grange School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Heworth Grange School?
The catchment area for Heworth Grange School is the geographic zone Gateshead uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

Gateshead 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 Gateshead before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
