North Leamington School

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.

1. 1Looked after or previously looked after children — A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after. A looked after child is a child who is (a) in the care of a local authority, or (b) being provided with accommodation by a local authority in the exercise of their social services’ functions (see the definition in section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989). A previously looked after child is (1) a child who was looked after by a local authority in England but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order or (2) a child who appears to the admission authority to have been in state care outside of England and ceased to be in state care as a result of being adopted.
2. 2In catchment with sibling on roll — Children who live within catchment and have a brother or sister on roll at the time of application and who are (or are likely to be) on roll at the time of admission. For these arrangements the term brother or sister includes half brother or sister or legally adopted child being regarded as the brother or sister who are living in the same household.
3. 3Live in catchment area for majority of school week — Children who live in North Leamington School catchment area for the majority of the school week.
4. 4Outside catchment with sibling on roll — Children living outside the catchment area and have a brother or sister on roll at the time of application and who are (or are likely to be) on roll at the time of admission.
5. 5Children of staff — Children of staff employed by North Leamington School where the member of staff has been employed at the school for two years or more at the time the application for admission to the school is made and/or the member of staff is recruited to fill a vacant post for which there is a demonstrable skill shortage.
6. 6Other children, nearest by distance — Other children, with priority for admission given to children who live nearest to North Leamington School as the crow flies.

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). Where two or more children receive equal admission priority given the above criteria, random allocation will be used as a tie-break in any criterion to decide who has highest priority for admission.

Distance calculated by straight line measurement from address point to school centroid, per Warwickshire County Council mapping. Sixth form (Year 12) entry has separate PAN of 15 and separate oversubscription criteria for external applicants only, not included here as this entry covers main Year 7 entry. CATCHMENT: The catchment area for North Leamington School includes: The parishes of Cubbington, Blackdown, Eathorpe, Hunningham, Offchurch, Old Milverton Westonunder-Wetherley and Bubbenhall. The town of Royal Leamington Spa bounded in the south by the River Leam from the Radford Semele parish boundary to Milverton Court and following Milverton Court (excluded) and Warwick New Road (only properties on the north side are included) to the Warwick parish boundary. The western boundary follows the Warwick parish boundary to the Old Milverton parish boundary. 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.
