The Green Flying High Academy Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for The Green Flying High Academy?

The catchment area for The Green Flying High Academy is the geographic zone Derbyshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

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