How places are allocated in Southwark

Primary schools: Explicit: 'Southwark's community schools don't offer school places based on designated catchment areas' — distance/other criteria only, area of residence not a factor. (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.
