How catchment works at Herschel Grammar School
After scoring 111+, places go by looked-after, siblings, staff, then children within 4 miles ranked by score, then children outside 4 miles ranked by score.
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.
