The Annunciation RC Junior School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for The Annunciation RC Junior School?

The catchment area for The Annunciation RC Junior School is the geographic zone Barnet uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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

Admission to The Annunciation RC Junior School is managed by Barnet 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.

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.
