Oasis Academy Arena Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Oasis Academy Arena?
The catchment area for Oasis Academy Arena is the geographic zone Croydon uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary 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. Croydon publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Oasis Academy Arena sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Croydon. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Croydon before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
