Do schools in Ashby-De-La-Zouch have catchment areas?
Most state schools in Ashby-De-La-Zouch 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 Ashby-De-La-Zouch?
Apply to Leicestershire 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.
