Nyland School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Nyland School?
The catchment area for Nyland School is the geographic zone Swindon uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable 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. Swindon publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Nyland School sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Swindon. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.

Nyland School has a published admission number of 56 places. 62 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 111%. At 111% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Swindon 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. 71% of pupils at Nyland School are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of Swindon.
