How places are allocated in Rutland

Primary schools: Rutland publishes catchment maps for some primary schools but notes that not all primaries have a catchment — check each school's admission arrangements. (source)

Secondary schools: Each Rutland secondary decides whether to include catchment or feeder primaries in its own admission arrangements. (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.
