How places are allocated in Norfolk

Primary schools: Explicit catchment areas with a published interactive catchment map. (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.

Diss straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Norfolk's, and Suffolk also has schools here, applying under its own.
