School Catchment Areas
Each community and Church of England Primary and Secondary school in Stockport has a geographical area around it called a catchment area. Every address in Stockport falls within the catchment area of only 1 primary and 1 secondary school. Being resident within the catchment area of a school is not the highest category within the Admissions Policy, although it is higher than those applying from outside the catchment area. If you wish to be considered for a place at your catchment school you must include it as one of your preferences.
