How places are allocated in Suffolk

Primary schools: 'Every community and voluntary controlled school serves an area of streets or villages' — catchment maps published online. (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.

Beccles straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Suffolk's, and Norfolk also has schools here, applying under its own.
