Trinity Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Trinity Academy?
The catchment area for Trinity Academy is the geographic zone Doncaster uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary 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, in most years, faith-based criteria. Doncaster publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Trinity Academy is managed by Doncaster 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.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Doncaster before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
