Oldfield Primary School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Oldfield Primary School?

The catchment area for Oldfield Primary School is the geographic zone Bradford uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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