Morton Primary Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Morton Primary Academy?
The catchment area for Morton Primary Academy is the geographic zone Derbyshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and siblings. Derbyshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
