Lift Kingsley Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Lift Kingsley?
The catchment area for Lift Kingsley is the geographic zone Hounslow 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. Hounslow 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 Kingsley sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Hounslow. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.
