There are four schools in the catchment area and yet my neighbours son is going to a better off school in the town over and I can't understand how

How is it any of your business?

May be for any number of reasons.

I guess they had spaces

They applied, the school has space…. So they got accepted.

I assume your kids both applied for year 7 there and they got a place and you didn’t?

this could be due to

Child has an EHCP naming that school
Sibling at the school (may live elsewhere)
Looked after child
exceptional social or medical need
parent is staff member

you wouldn’t necessarily know about all of these
