How Catchment Areas Work

School catchment areas are geographical zones used by local authorities to allocate school places. Children living within a school's catchment area typically receive priority during admissions.

  • Catchment boundaries vary between local authorities
  • Living in a catchment area does not guarantee a place
  • Oversubscribed schools may use additional criteria
  • Always check directly with your local authority for official boundaries
