Doncaster School Catchment Areas

Doncaster coordinates admissions across 98 primary and 20 secondary schools, with oversubscription criteria applied consistently across the authority.

School density is highest in Doncaster and Mexborough — parents in other parts of Doncaster should check the exact distance-offered figure from the previous year before banking on proximity alone.

Admissions to all schools in Doncaster are coordinated by the council — catchment area and sibling priority are the most common tiebreakers when schools are oversubscribed.
