Brentwood School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Brentwood School?

The catchment area for Brentwood School is the geographic zone Essex uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and, in most years, faith-based criteria. Essex publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

Admission to Brentwood School is managed by Essex and typically includes both faith criteria and catchment area proximity. The weighting given to each criterion depends on the school's published oversubscription policy, which is reviewed annually.

Operating near capacity: 94% of places are currently filled. Catchment boundaries are likely to apply when the school is oversubscribed at the next intake.
