Middleton Community Primary School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Middleton Community Primary School?

The catchment area for Middleton Community Primary School is the geographic zone Suffolk uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Suffolk before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
