Pennine View School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Pennine View School?
The catchment area for Pennine View School is the geographic zone Doncaster uses to prioritise admissions when this not applicable school receives more applications than it has places.

Pennine View School has a published admission number of 144 places. 159 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 110%. At 110% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Doncaster 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. 74.8% of pupils at Pennine View 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 Doncaster.
