Leicester School Catchment Areas

Schools in Leicester split across 82 primaries and 19 secondaries, with catchment boundaries set afresh each admissions cycle by the council's school admissions team.

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

Around 16% of schools in Leicester have a religious character — Church of England, Catholic, or other faith — which means faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in those schools' oversubscription tiebreakers.
