The circle is 12.094616426609665 miles, the distance the school admitted from in 2024/25. 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 Berry Brow Infant and Nursery 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. 12.094616426609665 miles was last year's outcome, not a boundary and not a promise.

Common questions

What is the catchment area for Berry Brow Infant and Nursery Academy?

Berry Brow Infant and Nursery 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 2024/25 lived 12.094616426609665 miles away, per Kirklees.

How close do I need to live to get a place at Berry Brow Infant and Nursery Academy?

Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 12.094616426609665 miles was enough in 2024/25. 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 Berry Brow Infant and Nursery 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.
