What is the catchment area for St Hild's Church of England School?
The catchment area for St Hild's Church of England School is the geographic zone Hartlepool uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

Hartlepool publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to St Hild's Church of England School is managed by Hartlepool 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 Hartlepool before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
