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

Derbyshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Wirksworth CofE Infant School is managed by Derbyshire 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.
