Warrington School Catchment Areas

Schools in Warrington split across 69 primaries and 13 secondaries, with catchment boundaries set afresh each admissions cycle by the council's school admissions team.

Warrington, Lymm and WARRINGTON 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.

Around 37% of schools in Warrington have a religious character — Church of England, Catholic, or other faith — which means faith criteria sit alongside catchment distance in those schools' oversubscription tiebreakers.
