How places are allocated in Greenwich

Primary schools: Royal Greenwich community primary oversubscription uses home-to-school straight-line distance (after LAC / medical-social / siblings) — no catchment-area step in the determined arrangements. (source)

Secondary schools: Community secondary criteria likewise prioritise by distance rather than a named catchment map (most secondaries are their own admissions authorities). (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.
