How places are allocated in North Somerset
Primary schools: LA has a dedicated 'Primary school catchment areas' page, but explicitly notes most schools in Weston-super-Mare, Clevedon, Nailsea and Portishead do NOT have one — varies school by school. (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.
Weston-Super-Mare straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is North Somerset's, and Somerset also has schools here, applying under its own.
