How places are allocated in Northumberland
Primary schools: Catchment area is a priority criterion; LA publishes an interactive GIS catchment/transport-eligibility map. (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.
