School Catch
For schools

Replace the admissions PDF with a live map.

Parents check eligibility against your actual catchment before they email the office. Branded as yours, embeddable in minutes.

The problem

Three things every school office knows.

01

The PDF goes stale

Boundaries shift as councils revise them. A map uploaded last August quietly stops matching the current catchment.

02

Static maps are hard to read

Parents squint at a boundary line and guess which side their street falls on. Most get it wrong, then ring to be sure.

03

The office absorbs the calls

Every "are we in catchment?" lands on the front desk, and the volume spikes through placing-request season.

The widget

A parent types a postcode. They get an answer.

The eligibility check sits on your own site, in your own branding. Type an address, see instantly whether it falls inside the catchment, all without an email to the office.

  • Instant in or out-of-catchment answer
  • Your school's name, colours and domain
  • Embeds with a single snippet

Why it works

Fewer repetitive enquiries

Parents get a clear in or out answer before they reach for the phone.

Your council's actual boundary

The map shows the current published catchment, not a screenshot from two years ago.

Works on a phone

Most parents check from mobile. The widget is built for it first.

Zero maintenance

School Catch refreshes from the Spatial Hub every quarter. Nothing for the office to update.

How to add it

One snippet, set once.

Paste a single embed where you want the eligibility check to appear. It loads your school's boundary and branding automatically. We set your colours and confirm the catchment with you at signup.

  • Drop-in embed for any page on your site
  • Your boundary and branding, no per-page setup
  • Works alongside common school CMS platforms

The catchment shown is the council's published boundary. Always confirm placing requests with the local authority before making a decision.

For local authorities

Roll it out across every school at once.

Give every school in the authority the same widget, drawn from one boundary set and updated from a single point. Consistent catchments, no school left maintaining its own out-of-date map.

  • One consistent boundary set across all schools
  • A single point of update for the whole authority
  • A dashboard view of every school's widget
