The Avenue Primary School and Children's Centre Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for The Avenue Primary School and Children's Centre?
The catchment area for The Avenue Primary School and Children's Centre is the geographic zone Wiltshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.
