Leys Junior School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Leys Junior School?
The catchment area for Leys Junior School is the geographic zone Derbyshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary 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. Derbyshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
The catchment area for Leys Junior School is set by Derbyshire and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Derbyshire before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
