If two applications tie: Where the distance from home to school is identical for two or more applicants within the same oversubscription criteria, individual priority will be determined by random allocation using a random number generator.

Children with an Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) that names the school will be admitted first, before oversubscription criteria are applied. Where the final place is offered to one of twins/triplets/multiple-birth, the other(s) will normally also be offered a place even if this exceeds PAN. CATCHMENT: The priority area for Shipston-on-Stour Primary School is defined as the parishes of Shipston-on-Stour, Barcheston, Honington, Idlicote and Tidmington, the part of the parish of Stretton-on-Fosse east of but excluding the Fosse Way, the part of the parish of Tredington lying south of the Darlingscote Road (included) and also east of the Fosse Way (excluded). 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.
