Tameside Primary Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Tameside Primary Academy?
The catchment area for Tameside Primary Academy is the geographic zone Sandwell uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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