The Annunciation Catholic Infant School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for The Annunciation Catholic Infant School?

The catchment area for The Annunciation Catholic Infant School is the geographic zone Barnet 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 Barnet before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
