Location & catchment area
Indicative catchment Other primary schools
Indicative only. This is a nearest-school (Voronoi) estimate — the area closer to Ashgate Nursery School than to any other primary school. Real admissions depend on the school’s own policy (straight-line distance, siblings, faith, feeder schools and available places) and change each year. Always confirm with the school and local authority admissions team.
