Barnsley School Catchment Areas
Barnsley has 96 schools - 77 primary and 10 secondary - spread across a mix of towns and areas.
The largest concentrations sit around Barnsley, Rotherham and Sheffield, which together account for a meaningful share of the council's pupil places.
Around 19% of schools in Barnsley have a religious character - Church of England, Catholic, or other faith - which means faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in those schools' oversubscription tiebreakers.
Based on the latest published capacity data, 41 of the 96 schools in Barnsley are at or above their admission number, so catchment distance is decisive at those schools. 18 schools apply faith-based criteria alongside catchment distance. Of the 48 Barnsley schools with a current Ofsted rating, 45 are rated Good or Outstanding.
