Schools in Darlington

Primary schools: Maintained community school criteria: LAC, medical, siblings, a rural-ward access rule, then shortest walking distance to the school gate — no defined catchment polygons for ordinary community/VC schools. (source)

Secondary schools: Most Darlington secondaries are academies with own policies; LA default for any remaining community places follows distance/sibling pattern rather than hard catchment maps. (source)

Most schools use the local authority's default scheme rather than a school-specific catchment map — see each school's page for its own designated/catchment area where one is published.
