Lammas School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Lammas School?
The catchment area for Lammas School is the geographic zone Waltham Forest uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

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