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

Stockport 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 Westmorland Primary School is set by Stockport and reviewed annually. Children living within the catchment boundary receive priority consideration when applications exceed the number of available places.
