Lift Greenwood Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Lift Greenwood?
The catchment area for Lift Greenwood is the geographic zone Birmingham 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. Birmingham publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Lift Greenwood sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Birmingham. 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 Birmingham before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
