Hartlepool School Catchment Areas

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

Schools in Hartlepool split across 30 primaries and 5 secondaries, with catchment boundaries set afresh each admissions cycle by the council's school admissions team.

The vast majority of schools in Hartlepool are concentrated in Hartlepool — distance and catchment criteria apply as usual, but choice is limited outside the main settlement.

Around 30% of schools in Hartlepool have a religious character — Church of England, Catholic, or other faith — which means faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in those schools' oversubscription tiebreakers.
