How places are allocated in Bradford

Primary schools: Catchment area boundaries set annually by the council — though only 41 of ~205 Bradford schools follow the LA default; most are academies with their own policy. (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.
