Do schools in Brough have catchment areas?
Most state schools in Brough have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, the council 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 Brough?
Apply to your council - East Riding of Yorkshire or Westmorland and Furness, depending on your address - through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools.
