Oasis Academy Shirley Park Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Oasis Academy Shirley Park?
The catchment area for Oasis Academy Shirley Park 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.

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.
