How places are allocated in Dorset
Primary schools: Catchment area is an explicit high-priority criterion, ranked before out-of-catchment sibling applications. (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.
