Newman School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Newman School?
The catchment area for Newman School is the geographic zone Rotherham 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 siblings. Rotherham publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
As an academy, Newman School sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Rotherham. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.

Newman School has a published admission number of 185 places. 187 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 101%. The school is at or above its published limit of 185 places. Rotherham 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. 62% of pupils at Newman School are eligible for free school meals, above the national average of around 24%. This reflects the school's role in a higher-deprivation area of Rotherham.
