What is the catchment area for Macaulay Church of England Primary School?
The catchment area for Macaulay Church of England Primary School is the geographic zone Lambeth uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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