We are currently planning a move to Doncaster. My research has shown that Doncaster does that Catchment zones for each secondary school.
Which areas would you avoid, and which would you aim for? Also, are you pretty much guaranteed a place at the Catchment school.
So far our research has shown that Mexborough (Laurel) has a poor history recently... But I can see it's been taken over by the same Academy chain as some others in the area. Is it one to avoid.
Hall cross looks massive.
The others were starting to blur into one- especially with academy chains making websites look identical.
If anyone has any inside info, that will help massively.
(Then we can worry about in year admissions at the Primary schools)
