1Children in care / previously in care — Children in care of, or provided with accommodation by, a Local Authority and children who were looked after but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a residence order or special guardianship order).
2In priority area with sibling — Children living inside the priority area (see definitions below) who will have a brother or sister at the school at the time of admission.
3Other children in priority area — Other children living inside the priority area.
4Outside priority area with sibling at school — Children living outside the priority area who will have a brother or sister at the school at the time of admission.
5Outside priority area with sibling at primary school — Children living outside the priority area who will have a brother or sister at the primary school at the time of admission.

Children with a statement of Special Educational Needs that names the school must be admitted and this may reduce the number of places available (statutory duty, sits above oversubscription criteria). CATCHMENT: The Priority Area is that which is stipulated by the Local Authority. Transcribed from the school's own determined admission arrangements as published by Warwickshire County Council school admissions directory. 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.
