Orchard Infant School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Orchard Infant School?
The catchment area for Orchard Infant School is the geographic zone Hampshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Hampshire before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
