How places are allocated in Wokingham

Primary schools: 'Most addresses in the borough have a designated area school, which is given the highest priority' — some individual schools have removed their designated area in favour of pure distance. No secondary row: all Wokingham secondary schools are their own admission authority, so there is no LA-default scheme. (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.
