St Peter's Catholic Primary School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for St Peter's Catholic Primary School?

The catchment area for St Peter's Catholic Primary School is the geographic zone Stockport uses to prioritise admissions when this primary 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 Peter's Catholic Primary School 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.

Currently oversubscribed: 210 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 210 places. Living within the catchment area is especially important for this school.
