How places are allocated in Warrington

Primary schools: Explicit: 'community schools in Warrington no longer have defined geographical catchment zones' — pure home-to-school distance. (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.
