Catchment, explained

## How catchment works at Ripon Grammar School

Reach the standard on the GL test, then a set percentage of catchment-area pupils plus boarders are admitted; siblings then proximity decide within groups.

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.
