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

North Yorkshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Knayton Church of England Academy is managed by North Yorkshire and typically includes both faith criteria and catchment area proximity. The weighting given to each criterion depends on the school's published oversubscription policy, which is reviewed annually.
