The King's Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for The King's Academy?
The catchment area for The King's Academy is the geographic zone Middlesbrough uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places.

Middlesbrough publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to The King's Academy is managed by Middlesbrough and typically includes both faith criteria and catchment area proximity. The weighting given to each criterion depends on the school's published oversubscription policy, which is reviewed annually.
