How places are allocated in West Berkshire

Primary schools: 'School Catchment Areas' explicit oversubscription factor; catchment maps published. (source)

Secondary schools: Explicit: children whose home address is in the school's 'designated catchment area' get priority, ahead of siblings. (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.

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