How places are allocated in Leeds
Primary schools: 'Each of the community and voluntary controlled primary schools in Leeds has a defined catchment priority 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.
Otley straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Leeds's, and North Yorkshire also has schools here, applying under its own.
