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. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and siblings. Waltham Forest publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

As an academy, Lammas School sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Waltham Forest. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.

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.
