St Anne's RC Voluntary Academy Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for St Anne's RC Voluntary Academy?

The catchment area for St Anne's RC Voluntary Academy is the geographic zone Stockport uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

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

Admission to St Anne's RC Voluntary Academy is managed by Stockport and typically includes both faith criteria and catchment area proximity. The weighting given to each criterion depends on the school's published oversubscription policy, which is reviewed annually.

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