How to Apply
on the Derbyshire County Council website.  If you live outside of Derbyshire, you should apply on your local council’s school admissions website.

Understanding Catchment Distances

Most schools allocate remaining places based on straight-line distance from the school gates after priority criteria (like Looked After Children or Siblings) are met. As a result, exact "catchment postcodes" do not permanently exist. The cut-off distance shrinks or expands every single year depending on local birth rates and application volume.
