Do schools in Bourne End have catchment areas?
Most state schools in Bourne End have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, Buckinghamshire 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.
