King's School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for King's School?
The catchment area for King's School is the geographic zone Plymouth 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. Plymouth publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to King's School is managed by Plymouth 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.

King's School has a published admission number of 230 places. 281 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 122%. At 122% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Plymouth 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.
