How places are allocated in Salford

Primary schools: LA publishes 'Parish boundary and catchment area maps'; faith schools additionally use parish boundaries. (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.
