Catchment, explained
How catchment works at Colchester Royal Grammar School
After the CSSE test, places go by EHCP, siblings, looked-after, pupil premium, staff, medical, then all other boys ranked by score; distance breaks ties.
Check every priority category in the school's current policy. A qualifying score on its own does not promise an offer.
