How to read this
Most English schools do not have a catchment area. When Kilburn Grange 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.
With no distance limit the map shows the school and the postcode you check, and claims nothing about a boundary.
The address on the closing date is the one the council uses. How admissions work.

Common questions
What is the catchment area for Kilburn Grange School?
Kilburn Grange 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 2023/24 lived 24.78 miles away, per Brent.
How close do I need to live to get a place at Kilburn Grange School?
Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 24.78 miles was enough in 2023/24. 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 Kilburn Grange 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.
