How places are allocated in Cambridgeshire
Primary schools: 'Most of Cambridgeshire's schools base their over-subscription criteria on having a defined catchment area' — though 168 of ~264 schools are their own admission authority (academies) and may differ. (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.
Wisbech straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Cambridgeshire's, and Lincolnshire, Norfolk also have schools here, applying under their own.
