If two applications tie: Where applicants are allocated the same criterion, priority is given in order of distance between the child's home and the school applied for (shortest distance = highest priority), calculated by straight-line measurement from the address point location coordinate of the applicant's home address to the centroid of the school. Where distances are identical (e.g. same multiple dwelling PAF), priority is determined by a random number generator allocation.

Children with an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) that names the school will be admitted first, before oversubscription criteria are applied; this may reduce the number of places available. Twins/multiples: where the final place is offered to one of twins, triplets or another multiple-birth child, the admissions authority will normally offer a place to the other multiple-birth child(ren) even if this means going above the school's PAN. CATCHMENT: The priority area for Newbold and Tredington C of E Primary School is defined as the parishes of Whitchurch and Halford, and the villages of Tredington, Newbold, Blackwell, Armscote and Crimscote. 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.
