Summary

Scottish local authorities usually divide towns and country areas into catchments and children living in a catchment area will usually go to the same local school. Domestic properties typically have a catchment area for each of their local:

  • primary non-denominational (PN),
  • secondary non-denominational (SN),
  • primary denominational / Catholic (PD) and
  • secondary denominational / Catholic (SD) schools. This dataset contains four separate layers (representing those above categories), which we deliver together as one single web service or zip folder. These data layers do not contain the catchment areas for Jordanhill primary and secondary school which is located in west Glasgow. This is because it is a Scottish Government-funded school.
