How places are allocated in South Tyneside

Primary schools: Explicit: 'All Community and Voluntary Controlled schools in South Tyneside have a defined geographic area called a catchment area.' (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.
