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.
