The Meadows Primary Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for The Meadows Primary Academy?
The catchment area for The Meadows Primary Academy is the geographic zone Stoke-on-Trent 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 Stoke-on-Trent before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
