Applying for September 2027? Secondary applications close on 31 October 2026, with offers on 1 March 2027. The address on the deadline is the one the council uses. How it works.

The circle is 2.442 miles, the distance the school admitted from in 2025/26. Real admission areas are not circular: this is the distance, not a boundary.

This is not a catchment area. Most English schools do not have one. When The Hazeley Academy is oversubscribed, places go outward from the school until they run out, so the distance moves each year with how many families applied and where they lived. 2.442 miles was last year's outcome, not a boundary and not a promise.

Common questions

What is the catchment area for The Hazeley Academy?

The Hazeley Academy does not have one in the sense most people mean. Like most English schools, an oversubscribed year offers places outward from the school until they run out. The nearest thing to an answer: the furthest child admitted in 2025/26 lived 2.442 miles away, per Milton Keynes.

How close do I need to live to get a place at The Hazeley Academy?

Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 2.442 miles was enough in 2025/26, and at 102% full the school has little slack. The distance moves every year with the number of applications, so treat last year's figure as evidence, not a promise.

Does buying a house near The Hazeley Academy guarantee a place?

No. Admission criteria usually put looked-after children, siblings ahead of distance, so places can be filled before distance is reached. Councils also check that the address is genuinely where the child lives.
