How places are allocated in Cheshire West and Chester

Primary schools: LA publishes a dedicated 'Catchment areas' page; catchment gives higher priority but is not guaranteed. (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.
