How places are decided at Shipston High 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.

1Looked after and previously looked after children — Children in the care of, or provided with accommodation by, a local authority and children who were looked after, but ceased to be so because they were adopted (or became subject to a child arrangements order or special guardianship order);.
2Sibling living in priority area — Children living in the priority area who will have a sibling at the school at the time of admission;
3Other children living inside priority area — Other children living inside the priority area;
4Sibling living outside priority area — Children living outside the priority area who will have a sibling at the school at the time of admission;
5Other children living outside priority area — Other children living outside the priority area.

If two applications tie: Within each category, priority is given in order of straight line distance between the home and school. The shortest distance has the highest priority.

Children with a statement of special needs are admitted first and this reduces the number of places available for other applicants (statutory duty, not an oversubscription criterion). CATCHMENT: Our priority area includes the following Primary Schools: Shipston Primary School, Brailes C of E Primary School, Acorns Primary School, Quinton Primary School, Ilmington C of E Primary School and Newbold & Tredington C of E Primary School. Transcribed from the school's own determined admission arrangements as published by Warwickshire County Council. 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.
