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

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