Physis Academy Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Physis Academy?

The catchment area for Physis Academy is the geographic zone Shropshire uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

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

The catchment area for Physis Academy is set by Shropshire and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.

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