Hollis Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Hollis Academy?
The catchment area for Hollis Academy is the geographic zone Middlesbrough uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable 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. Middlesbrough publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Hollis Academy sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Middlesbrough. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 73% of pupils at Hollis Academy are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of Middlesbrough.
