Stathern Primary School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Stathern Primary School?

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

Leicestershire 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 Stathern Primary School is set by Leicestershire and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.

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