What is the catchment area for Lift Anglesey?
The catchment area for Lift Anglesey is the geographic zone Staffordshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

Staffordshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
