How places are allocated in Stockton-on-Tees
Primary schools: Council's own phrasing ('catchment or nearest school') suggests catchment is a real recognised option; moderate confidence, only 13 of 83 schools follow LA default. (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.
Yarm straddles a council boundary: the scheme above is Stockton-on-Tees's, and North Yorkshire also has schools here, applying under its own.
