How places are allocated in Merton

Primary schools: Most Merton community schools have no catchment/priority area and rely on distance; only Dundonald and Wimbledon Chase have a defined Admissions Priority Area (exception, not the LA default). (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.
