How places are allocated in Doncaster

Primary schools: Oversubscription prioritises children 'ordinarily resident in the catchment area'; catchment details sent to parents automatically. (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.
