Oldham School Catchment Areas

Oldham coordinates admissions across 86 primary and 14 secondary schools, with oversubscription criteria applied consistently across the authority.

The largest concentrations sit around Oldham, Manchester and Greater Manchester, which together account for a meaningful share of the council's pupil places.

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