The Rubicon Centre Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for The Rubicon Centre?

The catchment area for The Rubicon Centre is the geographic zone North Yorkshire uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

North Yorkshire 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 Rubicon Centre is set by North Yorkshire and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.
