Lutterworth College

When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Children who are in public care including those who were previously looked after, including those who appear (to the admissions authority) to have been in state care outside England, but have ceased to be so because they were adopted. A 'looked after child' is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services functions (see the definition in Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989) at the time of making an application to a school. A previously looked after child is a child who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (under the Adoption Act 1976 or Adoption and Children Act 2002) or became subject of a child arrangement order or special guardianship order (under the Children Act 1989). By children previously in state care outside of England, we mean children who have been looked after outside of England by a public authority, a religious organisation, or another provider of care whose sole purpose is to benefit society. The care may have been provided in orphanages or other settings. Where Governors are unsure about the validity of the application advice will be sought from the Local Authority’s Virtual School Head.
2. 2Children of staff directly employed by Lutterworth College. This is applicable where either the member of staff has been employed at the school for more than two years at the time at which the application for admission to the school is made, and/or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable shortage.
3. 3Children who live in the catchment area of Lutterworth College. The catchment area of Lutterworth College is published on the school’s website. Priority will be given to pupils living nearest to the school measured in a straight-line distance from the centre point of the place of residence to the school’s main designated front gate. The child’s place of residence is taken to be the main parental home at which the child resides for the majority of their time during the school week.
4. 4Pupils who will have an older brother or sister attending the Lutterworth College. Children who have a brother or sister attending Lutterworth College living at the same address at the time of application and who will fulfil the criteria at the time of admission, with priority for admission given to those children who live nearest to Lutterworth College measured in a straight-line distance from the centre point of the place of residence to the school’s main designated front gate. The child’s place of residence is taken to be the main parental home at which the child resides for the majority of their time during the school week. For these arrangements the term brother or sister includes half-brother or half-sister (also known as step-brother or step sister), or legally adopted child being regarded as the brother or sister measured in a straight-line distance from the centre point of the place of residence to the school’s main designated front gate. The child’s place of residence is taken to be the main parental home at which the child resides for the majority of their time during the school week. For these arrangements brothers or sisters who will be of sixth form age are counted as brother/sister connections.
5. 5Where exceptional circumstances exist: Pupils who have a serious medical condition or exceptional social or domestic needs that make it essential they attend Lutterworth College. In this instance professional documentation & evidence confirming the situation must be submitted with the application from the lead professional connected to the circumstances. Children of UK service personnel who are to be posted within the school’s catchment area map will be given priority, subject to the receipt by the Admission Authority of an official letter that declares a relocation date and unit posting address.

Read 2026-09-12 from the school's own published admission arrangements. The criteria are printed as a two-column table (rank, criterion) that plain text extraction scrambles, so they were taken from the table structure itself. The school is named in the criteria text, confirming the document belongs to it.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
