Anyone any suggestions for what is the best thing to do if you are not in the catchment area for any school for admissions( all are in control of their own boundaries and we aren’t in any). Thanks !

That's awkward, OP.

First of all contact your council's school admissions department.and ask for advice.

They are obliged to give your DC a school place and it has to be within a reasonable travelling time, which I think is 75 minutes for secondary children and less for primary children.

Obviously you could end up with the sink school nobody wants to go to
