Pegasus Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Pegasus Academy?
The catchment area for Pegasus Academy is the geographic zone Dudley 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. Dudley publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Pegasus Academy sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Dudley. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Dudley before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 46% of pupils at Pegasus Academy are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of Dudley.
