Laleham Lea School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Laleham Lea School?
The catchment area for Laleham Lea School is the geographic zone Croydon uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

Croydon publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Laleham Lea School is managed by Croydon 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.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Croydon before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
