Torbay School Catchment Areas

Torbay coordinates admissions across 31 primary and 8 secondary schools, with oversubscription criteria applied consistently across the authority.

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

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