Hello -
Here in the US we have district lines which mandate which school your child attends. If you want a specific school, you move within the district line, and that's where your child goes.
My understanding of catchments is that if you live in a certain area, there are several schools your child might attend. Some good. Some bad.
We are moving to the Bristol area, and need a secondary school for both our DD and DS. We have locked in on the Thornbury (Castle) or Wotton Under Edge (KLB) area. But how big is the catchment area? Is it possible we could get stuck in an undersubscribed school in South Bristol?
Thanks
