Magnus Church of England Academy Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Magnus Church of England Academy?

The catchment area for Magnus Church of England Academy is the geographic zone Nottinghamshire uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.
