Schools in Melton Mowbray
Melton Mowbray has 24 schools across the Melton Borough in Leicestershire, the majority being village primaries serving settlements such as Stathern, Harby, Hose and Long Clawson. Leicestershire County Council uses a straight-line distance tiebreaker for oversubscription at community schools, with looked-after children and EHCP pupils given highest priority.
The two secondary schools - both in Melton Mowbray town - serve the entire rural catchment, so families in the outlying villages have limited secondary choice. The council's annual 'Admissions to Secondary Schools' booklet, released each September, contains the last-offered distance for each school and details of any catchment zones in use.
