How do school catchment areas work in Barnet?

In Barnet, catchment areas define a geographical zone around each school. Children living within the catchment boundary are given priority in oversubscription criteria. The exact boundary — and the "last distance offered" — changes each year based on application volumes. Official catchment maps and admissions policies are published by Barnet council each autumn.

Which schools in Barnet are oversubscribed?

Oversubscription varies by school and year in Barnet. Popular schools typically receive more applications than available places, meaning the "last distance offered" shrinks annually. To check demand for a specific school, consult the Barnet admissions authority's published offer data or the school's own admissions policy.
