Queen's Church of England Academy

When there are more applications than places for 2027-28 (Year 3), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Looked after children — A 'looked after child' or a child who was previously looked after but immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangements, or special guardianship order91 including those who appear [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. 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).
2. 2Siblings within priority area — A child is considered in this category if a sibling is attending the academy at the time of application and will continue to do so at the time of admission i.e. at the start of the new academic year, and where the child lives at the same address as the sibling and is living within the priority area of the academy. Priority is not given if the sibling attends a nursery unit linked to the academy
3. 3Priority area with sibling at partner infant school — Children in the priority area who have a sibling at the partner infant school at the time of admission (the partner infant school is Abbey CofE Infant School, Aston Road, Nuneaton, CV11 5EL).
4. 4Other children in priority area — Other children who live within the priority area of the academy.
5. 5Children of permanent staff — A child who is the son/daughter of a member of staff (teaching and non-teaching) who has been employed at the academy for two or more years at the time at which the application for admission to the academy is made, will also be given equal priority status to that of siblings of children already at the academy who live outside the priority area.
6. 6Siblings outside priority area — A child is considered in this category if a sibling is attending the academy at the time of application and will continue to do so the time of admission i.e. at the start of the new academic year.
7. 7Outside priority area with sibling at partner infant school — Children living outside the priority area who have a sibling at the partner infant school at the time of admission (the partner infant school is Abbey CofE Infant School, Aston Road, Nuneaton, CV11 5EL).
8. 8Any other children — Any other children not categorised above.

If two applications tie: Distance from home to academy, shorter measurement preferred; then random allocation if indistinguishable.

EHCP naming the academy offered a place first, reducing available places. Has a Special Resource Provision (SRP) with separate admissions pathway via County Panel, in addition to PAN. CATCHMENT: The northern boundary follows the Coventry Canal, Stoney Road and the River Anker to the railway line. The eastern boundary follows the railway line to Leicester Road (excluded), Bond Gate (excluded), Church Street (excluded), Bridge Street, Market Place, Coventry Street, Mill Walk (excluded) the River Anker, Coton Road and Coventry Road to College Street. The western boundary follows College Street, the Bull Ring and Greenmoor Road to the Coventry Canal. 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. This document is a single trust/diocesan policy covering 13 schools; the criteria above are the ones it prints for this school.

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.
