How places are allocated in Hampshire
Primary schools: LA publishes a catchment area for each community/VC school, though 'not all schools operate a catchment area.' (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.
