4. 4Priority area with sibling in Years 1-6, or child of staff — Children living in the priority area for the school, who will have a sibling attending the same school in Years 1 - 6 at the time of admission in September 2026. Children of current employees.

If two applications tie: In the event of a tie between two or more applicants who cannot be separated when applying the oversubscription criteria, a process of independently verified random allocation will be used to allocate the places.

Priority given after admission of any pupils with a Statement of SEN or EHCP naming the school. Note: criteria 6 and 7 as printed appear to duplicate/contain apparent inconsistencies (criterion 6 references September 2024 rather than 2026, and criterion 7 repeats wording similar to criterion 5) - transcribed verbatim as they appear in the source document. CATCHMENT: Each school has an area identified as its priority area (this is sometimes referred to as a 'catchment area'). 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.
