Calderdale School Catchment Areas
Calderdale coordinates admissions across 82 primary and 11 secondary schools, with oversubscription criteria applied consistently across the authority.
Expect the tightest competition in and around Halifax and Brighouse, where popular primaries are regularly oversubscribed and last-distance-offered figures can shrink to a few hundred metres.
Selective schools are part of the mix in Calderdale - for those applying to grammar schools, a selective admissions test is required in addition to the standard admissions process.
Based on the latest published capacity data, 16 of the 113 schools in Calderdale are at or above their admission number, so catchment distance is decisive at those schools. Calderdale has 4 selective schools that admit by entrance test rather than distance. 30 schools apply faith-based criteria alongside catchment distance. Of the 54 Calderdale schools with a current Ofsted rating, 51 are rated Good or Outstanding.
