Nearby does not mean in catchment

These distances do not establish a priority area or eligibility. Check each school's determined policy, published qualification rules and the council's application process.

Entrance routes for these schools

Different tests can serve schools near the same town. Read the relevant route before choosing practice, registering or arranging score sharing.

Check sourced registration, test and results dates

Plan an application from this town

  1. Open each school guide to check qualification, priority and current admissions evidence.
  2. Check travel from your home address. A straight-line radius can cross rivers, county boundaries or routes with slow public transport.
  3. If your child has a test result, read the guide for that route and submit your home council's school application by its published deadline.
  4. If you are planning for a later entry year, check each test's registration window and whether its score must be shared with another school.
  5. Put schools in your genuine preference order and include an option your child is eligible for.
