Bracknell Primary School Association chairwoman Angela Cresswell lives only a few minutes from the town's school.

But if the draft policy is approved she should technically be sending her children 20 kilometres away to Hagley Primary School.

``I can see the school from my house but technically I'm out of the zone,'' Ms Cresswell said.

Education Department early years and schools deputy secretary Liz Banks said a review of policies and guidelines relating to school boundaries and catchment areas would be undertaken soon.

She said the department must first review enrolment and attendance guidelines before it looked at school boundaries.

Schools across the state have had two weeks to comment on enrolments in the out-of-home-area schools draft policy.

The policy includes new measures to restrict children bypassing their local school to attend a school in another area.

It says parents wanting to enrol their child at an out-of-area school must first seek the permission of their local principal and then the principal of their preferred school.

If it is approved, it will apply in 2014.

Ms Cresswell said that although she did agree with the enrolment policy, the school zones had to be reworked first as according to current zones, students who live within a few minutes of schools like Hagley and Westbury should be sending their children to Bracknell and vice-versa.

She said this could result in fewer people being enrolled at Bracknell.

``Who from Westbury would want to send their kids to Bracknell?'' Ms Cresswell said.

``If you're looking at viability, the department needs to make sure the school is doing what it can to be viable.''

Submissions on the draft policy of enrolment of students in out-of-home-areas are due this week.
