How places are allocated in Cumberland
Primary schools: Catchment areas defined; where an area has none, the nearest school by GIS walking route serves as the catchment fallback. (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.
Brampton straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Cumberland's, and Northumberland also has schools here, applying under its own.
