King David Primary School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for King David Primary School?

The catchment area for King David Primary School is the geographic zone Liverpool uses to prioritise admissions when this primary 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. Liverpool publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

Admission to King David Primary School is managed by Liverpool 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.

Currently oversubscribed: 425 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 420 places. Living within the catchment area is especially important for this school.

King David Primary School: at or above its 420 place limit

King David Primary School has a published admission number of 420 places. 425 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 101%. The school is at or above its published limit of 420 places. Liverpool allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. The last-distance figure is likely to remain tight if demand holds at this level.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 3.3% of pupils are eligible for free school meals, below the national average. The school draws primarily from a lower-deprivation part of Liverpool.
