The Campion School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for The Campion School?
The catchment area for The Campion School is the geographic zone Havering uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

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

The Campion School has a published admission number of 1050 places. 1244 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 118%. At 118% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Havering 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. 9.8% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, below the national average. The school draws primarily from a lower-deprivation part of Hornchurch.
