How places are allocated in Surrey

Primary schools: Surrey removed 'nearest school' priority for most community/VC schools in 2022, replacing it with plain distance measurement — only a few individual schools (e.g. Walton on the Hill) have since had a catchment area introduced. (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.

Farnham straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Surrey's, and Hampshire also has schools here, applying under its own.
