Pucklechurch CofE VC Primary School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Pucklechurch CofE VC Primary School?
The catchment area for Pucklechurch CofE VC Primary School is the geographic zone South Gloucestershire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

South Gloucestershire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Pucklechurch CofE VC Primary School is managed by South Gloucestershire 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.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by South Gloucestershire before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
