The Minster CofE Primary School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for The Minster CofE Primary School?
The catchment area for The Minster CofE Primary School is the geographic zone Wiltshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

Wiltshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
