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

Norbridge Academy has a published admission number of 210 places. 483 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 230%. At 230% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Nottinghamshire 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. 20.1% of pupils at Norbridge Academy are eligible for free school meals, broadly in line with the national average. This reflects a mixed catchment population across Nottinghamshire.
