Distance did not decide places here
Every applicant who applied on time was offered a place for 2026-27 (Year 7), so there was no cut-off distance. This changes from year to year; check the current year's figures before relying on it.
Last distance offered at Lode Heath School, year by year →
When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.
If two applications tie: If two or more applicants share the same distance to Lode Heath and a place is available, the place offered will be determined by random selection. This will be carried out independently of the admissions authority.
Children with an Education, Health and Care Plan that name Lode Heath will be offered a place first; this reduces the number of places available before oversubscription criteria are applied. Staff priority conditions and sibling definitions detailed in notes 2 and 3. Waiting lists managed by Solihull Local Authority and kept until December. CATCHMENT: Children who live in the catchment area of the school with priority being given, if necessary, to those living nearest to the school as measured in a straight line from home to school. 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.
