Zouch Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Zouch Academy?
The catchment area for Zouch Academy is the geographic zone Wiltshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary 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 siblings. Wiltshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Zouch Academy sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Wiltshire. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.

The school is at or above its published limit of 420 places. Wiltshire allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. The last-distance figure is likely to remain tight if demand holds at this level.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 9% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, below the national average. The school draws primarily from a lower-deprivation part of Tidworth.
