How places are allocated in Redcar and Cleveland

Primary schools: LA maintained primary criteria prioritise children permanently resident in the school's defined 'admission zone' before distance. (source)

Secondary schools: Admission zones / catchments are used across the borough's maintained pattern; many academies mirror the LA zone wording. (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.
