Iceni Secondary Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Iceni Secondary Academy?
The catchment area for Iceni Secondary Academy is the geographic zone Norfolk uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

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