Catchment, explained
How catchment works at Dr Challoner's Grammar School
After passing the STT (121+), places go by looked-after/pupil-premium, siblings, staff, then catchment boys, then all other boys; distance is 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.
