How do school catchment areas work in Ealing?

In Ealing, 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 Ealing council each autumn.

Which schools in Ealing are oversubscribed?

Oversubscription varies by school and year in Ealing. 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 Ealing admissions authority's published offer data or the school's own admissions policy.

Reviewed by the catchment.school editorial team · Last updated 15 March 2026

Schools in Ealing split across 65 primaries and 16 secondaries, with catchment boundaries set afresh each admissions cycle by the council's school admissions team.

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

Selective schools are part of the mix in Ealing — for those applying to grammar schools, a selective admissions test is required in addition to the standard admissions process.
