Ormston School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Ormston School?

The catchment area for Ormston School is the geographic zone Leeds 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, though entry first depends on passing the selective admissions test. Leeds publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

Entry to Ormston School is selective, and applicants must pass the relevant admissions test. Among qualifying applicants, Leeds may use distance or catchment area as a tiebreaker when the school is oversubscribed. Check the admissions policy for how the selection and distance criteria interact.

The full admissions policy, including test registration dates, qualifying scores, and any distance criteria, is published by Leeds before each admissions cycle. Verify your child's eligibility and your home address directly with the council.
