Lacey Gardens Junior Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Lacey Gardens Junior Academy?
The catchment area for Lacey Gardens Junior Academy is the geographic zone Lincolnshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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