In 2026-27, the last place at Kenilworth School and Sixth Form went to an applicant living 4.61 miles from the school. The last place went under “Ken 4b Outside Priority & Sibling”, a priority group, so this distance applies only to that group, not to every family. We hold 4 years of published distances for this school.
We do not compare these years: we do not hold the criterion the last place went under for every one of them, or it differs between them, so the distances may not be like for like.
In 2026-27, Kenilworth School and Sixth Form received 894 applications for 330 places — around 2.7 per place. 385 named it as a first preference, or about 1.2 first choices per place.
Kenilworth School and Sixth Form has an upcoming open event: open day on Wednesday, 4 November 2026. Seeing the school in person is the best way to judge whether the cut-off numbers above should worry you.

The places offered, applications and first preferences for 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 (Year 7) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Kenilworth School and Sixth Form, before it converted.
2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 (Year 7) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, Kenilworth School and Sixth Form (URN 125747): every figure for those years is that school's.
How to read this: the last distance offered is an outcome of each admission round — how far from the school the final offer reached after places were allocated under the published criteria. It is not a catchment boundary and it moves every year with sibling numbers, birth-year cohort size and application patterns.
Figures come from the local authority's published allocation data. Some councils publish the National Offer Day figure, which can understate the final September position after waiting-list movement — always confirm with the admissions authority before relying on a single year.
