Probably a silly question!! but have applied for DS to go to primary school.
His 'catchment' school is about 10 mins walk away. There is another school which is 5 mins walk away and is also closer as the crow flies. I did question if it was correct that the other school was down as his catchment school and the LEA said yes, it was strange seeing as other school is closer, but it was correct.
Now have just been looking at admissions criteria for 2nd school (non catchment one) which I want DS to go to and have put 1st on the list. It mentions in crieria about being 'in the catchment area' does this literally mean if its the stated catchment school? or is there a certain distance that you can be within around a school that makes you in the catchment area as well?
We are within 10 mins walk of at least 4 primary schools.

How do you know if you are in 'catchment' area?
