Town Junior School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Town Junior School?
The catchment area for Town Junior School is the geographic zone Birmingham uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and siblings. Birmingham publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
