What is the catchment area for Darwin School?

The catchment area for Darwin School is the geographic zone North Yorkshire uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

North Yorkshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
