Nene Park Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Nene Park Academy?
The catchment area for Nene Park Academy is the geographic zone Peterborough uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary 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. Peterborough publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

Nene Park Academy has a published admission number of 1100 places. 1476 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 134%. At 134% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Peterborough allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 28.9% of pupils at Nene Park Academy are eligible for free school meals, broadly in line with the national average. This reflects a mixed catchment population across Peterborough.
