Nottinghamshire School Catchment Areas

Nottinghamshire runs one of the larger school estates in England — 286 primary and 43 secondary schools, spread across market towns, villages and denser urban centres.

School density is highest in Nottingham and Mansfield — parents in rural parts of Nottinghamshire should check the exact distance-offered figure from the previous year before banking on proximity alone.

Selective schools are part of the mix in Nottinghamshire — for those, passing the admissions test comes first and catchment distance only applies as a tiebreaker.

The catchment boundary for any given school is defined in the council's annual admissions booklet — we link to that search for every Nottinghamshire school below.
