Oakdene Primary Academy Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Oakdene Primary Academy?

The catchment area for Oakdene Primary Academy is the geographic zone St. Helens uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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