How places are allocated in Derbyshire

Primary schools: Derbyshire's own term is 'normal area' (equivalent to catchment) — the primary criterion ahead of distance. (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.
