How places are allocated in County Durham

Primary schools: Priority is by nearest-school distance (GIS-measured shortest walking route); one source notes 'no catchment areas for some places' — no county-wide catchment map mechanism found, unlike neighbouring LAs. (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.
