Rotherham School Catchment Areas

Schools in Rotherham split across 96 primaries and 16 secondaries, with catchment boundaries set afresh each admissions cycle by the council's school admissions team.

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

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