What is the catchment area for Westminster School?
The catchment area for Westminster School is the geographic zone Westminster 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. Westminster publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to Westminster School is managed by Westminster 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.
