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

Lift Winton has a published admission number of 600 places. 1031 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 172%. At 172% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Hampshire allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 32.7% of pupils at Lift Winton are eligible for free school meals, broadly in line with the national average. This reflects a mixed catchment population across Hampshire.
