School catchment areas

Some voluntary aided, free schools and academies do not operate catchment areas to prioritise applications to the school. Please refer to the school's admissions policy for the relevant school year or from the school.

We will only provide Suffolk County Council (SCC) funded school travel to your child’s catchment area school when it is the nearest suitable school to their home that would have had a place available for them and they meet the distance criteria.

Suffolk County Council (SCC) Funded School Travel

Please be aware: You must consider how your child will travel to and from school before you apply for a school place. Further information on how to apply for a school place can be found on the relevant admissions page.

Full details about SCC funded school travel, including the School Travel Policy, additional arrangements for low income families and those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND), can be found on Suffolk on Board.

Most villages and parish catchment boundaries follow the parish boundary line. This is not always the same village and parish as the postal address indicates.
