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

Staffordshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

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