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

Norfolk publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Walsingham CE VA Primary School is managed by Norfolk 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.
