How catchment works at Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School

Pass the GL test (VR, Maths, English), then ranked by priority feeder areas (Area 1, Area 2) and looked-after status, with distance to school as the tie-break.

Check whether the school uses a named priority area, home-to-school distance, or other priority groups. The map is a starting point, not an admissions decision.
