Kempsford Church of England Primary School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Kempsford Church of England Primary School?
The catchment area for Kempsford Church of England Primary School is the geographic zone Gloucestershire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.
