What is the catchment area for The Ilsleys Primary School?
The catchment area for The Ilsleys Primary School is the geographic zone West Berkshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

West Berkshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
The catchment area for The Ilsleys Primary School is set by West Berkshire and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.
