Sandfield Primary School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Sandfield Primary School?
The catchment area for Sandfield Primary School is the geographic zone Surrey uses to prioritise admissions when this primary 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. Surrey publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Sandfield Primary School sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Surrey. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.
