Salford School Catchment Areas
Salford coordinates admissions across 76 primary and 16 secondary schools, with oversubscription criteria applied consistently across the authority.
Salford, Manchester and Swinton 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.
Selective schools are part of the mix in Salford - for those applying to grammar schools, a selective admissions test is required in addition to the standard admissions process.
Based on the latest published capacity data, 33 of the 134 schools in Salford are at or above their admission number, so catchment distance is decisive at those schools. Salford has 3 selective schools that admit by entrance test rather than distance. 52 schools apply faith-based criteria alongside catchment distance. Of the 42 Salford schools with a current Ofsted rating, 34 are rated Good or Outstanding.
