Derby School Catchment Areas
Schools in Derby split across 74 primaries and 15 secondaries, with catchment boundaries set afresh each admissions cycle by the council's school admissions team.
Derby, Derby. and Buxton host the biggest clusters - useful to know when a preferred school is oversubscribed, because the next-nearest alternative is often in a neighbouring town rather than the same catchment.
Selective schools are part of the mix in Derby - 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, 33 of the 118 schools in Derby are at or above their admission number, so catchment distance is decisive at those schools. Derby has 3 selective schools that admit by entrance test rather than distance. 20 schools apply faith-based criteria alongside catchment distance. Of the 51 Derby schools with a current Ofsted rating, 44 are rated Good or Outstanding.
