Rosedale College Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Rosedale College?

The catchment area for Rosedale College is the geographic zone Hillingdon uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

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