The Globe Primary Academy Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for The Globe Primary Academy?

The catchment area for The Globe Primary Academy is the geographic zone West Sussex 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. West Sussex publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

As an academy, The Globe Primary Academy sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with West Sussex. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.

The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by West Sussex before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
