Hob Moor Community Primary Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Hob Moor Community Primary Academy?
The catchment area for Hob Moor Community Primary Academy is the geographic zone York uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.
