How places are allocated in North Northamptonshire

Primary schools: Called 'linked area' (same historic Northamptonshire terminology as West Northamptonshire) — used by many but not all schools, common in rural areas. (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.
