The Beech Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for The Beech Academy?
The catchment area for The Beech Academy is the geographic zone Nottinghamshire uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

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

The Beech Academy has a published admission number of 100 places. 114 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 114%. At 114% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Nottinghamshire allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 54.3% of pupils at The Beech Academy are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of Mansfield.
