Newham School Catchment Areas

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

Newham has 114 schools - 67 primary and 17 secondary - spread across a mix of towns and areas.

London, Manor Park and Plaistow host the biggest clusters - useful to know when a preferred school is oversubscribed, because the next-nearest alternative is often in a neighbouring town rather than the same catchment.

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