How places are allocated in Oxfordshire
Primary schools: 'Designated catchment area' explicit criterion; catchment boundary maps published. (source)
Secondary schools: 'Many, but not all, secondary schools have catchment areas' — same structure as primary phase. (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.
Chipping Norton straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Oxfordshire's, and Gloucestershire also has schools here, applying under its own.
