Do schools in Southwell have catchment areas?

Most state schools in Southwell have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, Nottinghamshire allocates places on its published criteria - usually looked-after children first, then siblings, then home-to-school distance - so the practical cut-off moves each year. Each school's page here shows an estimate of its catchment radius.

How do I apply for a school place in Southwell?
