How this city area is defined
Greater London uses its official regional boundary. Elsewhere, schools are grouped by the town in their official DfE/GIAS address. Each MSOA is assigned to the town named by most open schools inside it and counted once. Outside London this is a practical school-search area, not a statutory city boundary or admissions catchment.
