Catchment, explained
How catchment works at Reading School
After passing the test, places go by looked-after/pupil-premium, sporting aptitude, feeder schools, then designated-area boys, then all other boys; distance breaks ties.
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.
