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

Gloucestershire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Minchinhampton Primary Academy is managed by Gloucestershire and typically includes both faith criteria and catchment area proximity. The weighting given to each criterion depends on the school's published oversubscription policy, which is reviewed annually.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Gloucestershire before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
