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

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