South Bank University Sixth Form Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for South Bank University Sixth Form?

The catchment area for South Bank University Sixth Form is the geographic zone Lambeth uses to prioritise admissions when this all through 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. Lambeth publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

As an academy, South Bank University Sixth Form sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Lambeth. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.

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