How do school catchment areas work in Stockton-on-Tees?

In Stockton-on-Tees, catchment areas define a geographical zone around each school. Children living within the catchment boundary are given priority in oversubscription criteria. The exact boundary — and the "last distance offered" — changes each year based on application volumes. Official catchment maps and admissions policies are published by Stockton-on-Tees council each autumn.

Which schools in Stockton-on-Tees are oversubscribed?

Oversubscription varies by school and year in Stockton-on-Tees. Popular schools typically receive more applications than available places, meaning the "last distance offered" shrinks annually. To check demand for a specific school, consult the Stockton-on-Tees admissions authority's published offer data or the school's own admissions policy.
