Syresham St James CofE Primary School and Nursery's catchment area comes from its admission criteria, set by the local authority, West Northamptonshire, which decide who is offered a place when more children apply than there are places. Children in care or adopted from care come first by law. Most schools put brothers and sisters of current pupils next, then distance from home or a catchment boundary, and the school's admissions policy says which it uses. As a Church of England school, it can give priority to children on grounds of faith. Living nearby does not guarantee a place, and how far away the last place went changes every year, depending on who applies.
Syresham St James CofE Primary School and Nursery is in West Northamptonshire council's area. Check its admissions booklet for how far away places went in recent years. For a Reception place, apply through the council where you live by 15 January in the year your child starts school.

You can usually list between 3 and 6 schools in order of preference, and offers are sent on 16 April, or the next working day.
