The Japanese School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for The Japanese School?

The catchment area for The Japanese School is the geographic zone Ealing uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

Ealing 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 Japanese School is set by Ealing and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.

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