As part of the Council’s continual review of the supply of and demand for school places, we are now consulting upon revising catchment area arrangements for the above schools.

 

At present Kitchener, Lansdowne, Radnor and Severn primary schools serve catchment areas that include parts of Canton, Llandaff and Riverside. The catchment areas of these four primary schools currently fall within the secondary school catchment area of Fitzalan High School.

Projections indicate that the demand for English-medium places from within the existing catchment area of Fitzalan High School will exceed the number of places available at entry to the school, whilst demand from within the existing catchment area of Cantonian High School is less than the school is able to accommodate.

 

Changes to catchment areas are proposed that seek to achieve a balance between the revised catchment areas of these high schools, and also between the catchment areas of Kitchener, Lansdowne, Radnor and Severn primary schools.

It is proposed that the boundary between the catchment areas of Lansdowne, Kitchener and Severn primary schools be amended such that:

•  part of the existing Lansdowne catchment transfers to the catchment of Kitchener Primary School.

• part of the existing Kitchener catchment transfers to the catchment of Severn Primary School.
  
  
  

​The remaining catchment areas of Lansdowne Primary School and Radnor Primary School would also transfer from the secondary school catchment area of Fitzalan High School to Cantonian High School.
