How places are allocated in Middlesbrough

Primary schools: Explicit: 'All Middlesbrough primary schools... use admission zones', also called catchment areas, as part of oversubscription criteria. (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.
