We've matched the postcode to Oldham.
You apply through this education local authority even if the school is in another council area.

None of the schools listed here has a published last-distance figure, so we cannot compare a postcode with last year's allocation. We do not draw catchment maps in this list; where we hold a council's map, it is on the school's page.
