Do schools in Harden have catchment areas?

When a school is oversubscribed, Walsall 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.
