Queen Elizabeth's Academy Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Queen Elizabeth's Academy?

The catchment area for Queen Elizabeth's Academy is the geographic zone Nottinghamshire uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

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

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