The eastern boundary cuts across the countryside from the Ashby-de-la-Zouch Canal to the Wolvey parish boundary (excluding the Bramcote area). The eastern boundary then follows the Wolvey parish boundary to the Shilton parish boundary. The southern boundary follows the Shilton parish boundary and the Warwickshire County boundary to the Coventry Canal. The western boundary follows the Coventry Canal, Bulkington Road and the railway line to the Ashby-de-la-Zouch 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.
