Last distance offered at George Fentham Endowed School, year by year →
When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Reception), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: If offering places within any one of the criteria would cause the schools admission number to be exceeded, then children living nearest will be offered first. Distances are measured by the Local Authority’s computerised admissions system which uses six figure grid references and provides a unique point on each property. If two or more applications in the same priority have the same distance, but only one place can be offered, a computerised random allocation system will be used to decide which applicant has the highest priority.
Children with an Education Health Care Plan that names George Fentham Endowed School will be offered a place first; this reduces the number of places available (statutory duty, not a ranked criterion). No guarantee of transfer from Nursery to Reception. Waiting lists kept until end of December. Policy approved by Governors on 2nd February 2026. CATCHMENT: Applications from within the catchment area; catchment areas can be viewed at www.solihull.gov.uk/onlinemaps . Transcribed from the school's own determined admission arrangements as published by Solihull MBC. Children with an EHCP naming the school are admitted first; that is a statutory duty, not an oversubscription criterion.
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.
Same phase, ranked by distance and how closely they match.
