How places are allocated in Shropshire
Primary schools: Catchment area is the primary criterion for all community/VC primary schools; interactive catchment map published. (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.
Craven Arms straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Shropshire's, and Herefordshire, County of also has schools here, applying under its own.
