Our Lady of Grace RC Primary School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Our Lady of Grace RC Primary School?
The catchment area for Our Lady of Grace RC Primary School is the geographic zone Bury uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

Bury publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Our Lady of Grace RC Primary School is managed by Bury and typically includes both faith criteria and catchment area proximity. The weighting given to each criterion depends on the school's published oversubscription policy, which is reviewed annually.
