What areas are covered by Leeds school catchment zones?

Leeds administers catchment areas across 14 areas, including Leeds, Pudsey, Wetherby, Wakefield, Otley and more. Each school's catchment boundary is set by the local authority and reviewed annually as part of the admissions process.

How do school catchment areas work in Leeds?

In Leeds, 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 Leeds council each autumn.

Which schools in Leeds are oversubscribed?

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

Leeds has 308 schools — 221 primary and 41 secondary — spread across towns and areas throughout the authority.

The largest concentrations sit around Leeds, Pudsey and Wetherby, which together account for a meaningful share of the council's pupil places.

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