Common questions
What is the catchment area for Aylward Primary School?
Aylward 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 2.737 miles away, per Harrow.
How close do I need to live to get a place at Aylward Primary School?
Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 2.737 miles was enough in 2024/25. 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 Aylward 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.
