Do schools in Felixstowe have catchment areas?

Most state schools in Felixstowe have no fixed catchment boundary.

Each school's page here shows an estimate of its catchment radius.

How do I apply for a school place in Felixstowe?

Apply to Suffolk through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools.

Independent schools run their own admissions, so apply to those directly.
