Oasis Academy Lord's Hill Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Oasis Academy Lord's Hill?
The catchment area for Oasis Academy Lord's Hill is the geographic zone Southampton 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. Southampton 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 Southampton before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
