Membury Primary Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Membury Primary Academy?
The catchment area for Membury Primary Academy is the geographic zone Devon uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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