What is the catchment area for King's Oak Academy?
King's Oak Academy is a special school in Bristol, South Gloucestershire, and it does not use a standard catchment area. South Gloucestershire allocates places through each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) rather than home-to-school distance, so placement depends on assessed need rather than a geographic boundary.
