Stalyhill Infant School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Stalyhill Infant School?

The catchment area for Stalyhill Infant School is the geographic zone Tameside uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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

The catchment area for Stalyhill Infant School is set by Tameside and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.
