Immanuel College Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Immanuel College?
The catchment area for Immanuel College is the geographic zone Bradford uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary 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. Bradford publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Immanuel College is managed by Bradford 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.

Immanuel College has a published admission number of 1425 places. 1716 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 120%. At 120% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Bradford allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.
The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 28.8% of pupils at Immanuel College are eligible for free school meals, broadly in line with the national average. This reflects a mixed catchment population across Bradford.
