How to read this

Most English schools do not have a catchment area. When Crossley Street Primary School is oversubscribed, places go outward from the school until they run out, so the distance moves each year with how many families applied and where they lived.

Distances are measured from the postcode's centre, not a front door; a postcode covers a few houses. Siblings, looked-after children come before distance, so a school can fill before distance counts at all.

Real admission areas are not circular: the circle is the distance, not a boundary. The labels on the map are postcode districts whose centre falls inside it; each opens the district's guide.

The address on the closing date is the one the council uses. How admissions work.

One published year so far: 2024/25, from Leeds. With two or more, the map can draw any of them.

Two schools, both in reach

Two children, or a first and second preference? Add a second school to see where both are in reach, cheapest districts first. Only a school with a published distance can be added.

If the answer is no, you can appeal. In Leeds, 76 of 589 secondary appeals succeeded in 2025 (12.9%; England 19.9%), counted for all the council's schools together. How every council compares.

Common questions

What is the catchment area for Crossley Street Primary School?

Crossley Street Primary School does not have one in the sense most people mean. Like most English schools, an oversubscribed year offers places outward from the school until they run out. The nearest thing to an answer: the furthest child admitted in 2024/25 lived 0.56 miles away, per Leeds.

How close do I need to live to get a place at Crossley Street Primary School?

Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 0.56 miles was enough in 2024/25, and at 103% full the school has little slack. The distance moves every year with the number of applications, so treat last year's figure as evidence, not a promise.

Does buying a house near Crossley Street Primary School guarantee a place?

No. Admission criteria usually put looked-after children, siblings ahead of distance, so places can be filled before distance is reached. Councils also check that the address is genuinely where the child lives.
