Do schools in Amble have catchment areas?
Most state schools in Amble have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, Northumberland 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 Amble?
Apply to Northumberland through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools. In England the closing date is 31 October for secondary places and 15 January for primary places, in the year before your child starts.
