Schools in the CO3 postcode district
Colchester
The newest figures for each school. "1st prefs per place" is how many families put the school first, for each place it gave out. It measures demand, not whether a child would get a place. A dash means the figure is not available.
Demand for places in CO3
Across the 14 schools here with figures, the middle one drew 0.95 first preferences for every place it offered. 6 of 14 were named first by more families than they had places.
Demand is not admission. A school can be named first by far more families than it has places and still admit every applicant living in its catchment. Nothing on this page says anything about property values, and no figure here should be read as evidence about them.
Published admission zones covering CO3
No admission zone covering this district is published by its local authority in a form we can read. That does not mean the schools here have no catchments — only that we hold none, and we will not infer one.
