How places are allocated in Nottingham

Primary schools: LA publishes an interactive primary catchment map; catchment gives priority though not a guarantee — distinct from Nottinghamshire (the county), a separate LA. (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.
