Last updated: 20th January

How do I find my catchment area?

You can find your catchment school and view the catchment area for your home address using our online search and compare.

This also provides information on performance data, pupil-teacher ratios, admissions arrangements and more.

Catchment areas

If a school is an academy, voluntary aided or foundation school, it is its own admission authority and can therefore decide whether to give priority to catchment area children or not.

Currently, there are 16 schools in Staffordshire, who do not give priority to catchment area children.  

The schools below will still appear on our online search and compare as your catchment school, however, this will only be for transport purposes and not admissions purposes if a designated catchment area exists.

  • Birds Bush Primary School
  • Erasmus Darwin Academy
  • Five Spires Academy
  • Forest Hills Primary
  • Heath Hayes Academy
  • Henhurst Ridge Primary Academy
  • Norton Canes Primary Academy
  • Scientia Academy
  • Silkmore Primary Academy
  • Springhill Primary Academy
  • Streethay Primary School
  • Sun Academy
  • The Hart School
  • Three Peaks Primary Academy
  • Westwood First School
  • Veritas Primary Academy

There is no guaranteed admission to your catchment area school.  Allocations will be dependent on the availability of spaces and the individual admission arrangements.
