How places are allocated in Sandwell

Primary schools: Explicit: 'None of Sandwell's primary/junior schools have a catchment area' — pure distance-based admissions throughout. (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.
