School catchment areas

Bedfordshire County Council has a catchment area policy. This means that there will be a lower, middle and upper school which serves the area in which you live.

If you would like to know the school for the area in which you live please see the Gazetteer below.

In addition there are a number of Faith Schools| which do not serve a designated catchment area.

Please note that if you move into the catchment area of a school outside of the normal admissions round or after places have been allocated, we cannot guarantee you a place at your catchment area school if the admission number has been reached.

If you are moving into the area and would like to discuss your child's admission into school, please contact the School Admissions Service|.
