The Avenue Primary School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for The Avenue Primary School?
The catchment area for The Avenue Primary School is the geographic zone Middlesbrough uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and siblings. Middlesbrough publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
