Oaklands School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Oaklands School?

The catchment area for Oaklands School is the geographic zone Hounslow 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. Hounslow publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

The catchment area for Oaklands School is set by Hounslow and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.

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