The postcode finder needs JavaScript. You can still browse all 11 Local Areas or use Fife Council’s school catchment checker.

How this works

Local Areas are our own informal way of grouping the city. They are not official boundaries, and they are not school catchments, GP practice areas or council wards.

We match your postcode to its official statistical zone (the National Records of Scotland intermediate zone, and data zone where a zone is split), published in the ONS Postcode Directory and looked up through postcodes.io (opens in a new tab). It is the same rule we use to place listings on Local Area pages.

Distances are straight lines from the centre of your postcode, not walking or driving routes. The nearest school is not necessarily your catchment school.

Your postcode

Your postcode is sent to our server only to look up its location on postcodes.io. We don’t store it or link it to you. See our privacy notice.
