How places are allocated in Nottinghamshire

Primary schools: Explicit: 'Nottinghamshire community and voluntary controlled schools all have a designated 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.

Newark straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Nottinghamshire's, and Lincolnshire also has schools here, applying under its own.
