Springfield Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Springfield Academy?
The catchment area for Springfield Academy is the geographic zone Nottingham 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. Nottingham publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Springfield Academy sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Nottingham. 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 last-distance figure is likely to remain tight if demand holds at this level.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 60.8% of pupils at Springfield Academy are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%.
