Hollybank School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Hollybank School?

The catchment area for Hollybank School is the geographic zone Kirklees uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

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

The catchment area for Hollybank School is set by Kirklees and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.
