Oasis Academy MediaCityUK Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Oasis Academy MediaCityUK?
The catchment area for Oasis Academy MediaCityUK is the geographic zone Salford uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

Salford publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
