How places are allocated in Havering

Primary schools: Confirmed full criteria order (LAC, medical/social, siblings, then distance) has no catchment-area step. (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.

Romford straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Havering's, and Barking and Dagenham, Essex, Redbridge also have schools here, applying under their own.
