The Coleshill School

When there are more applications than places for 2026-27 (Year 7), places are offered in this order of priority. Meeting a higher criterion beats meeting a lower one.

1. 1Looked after and previously looked after children — Children who are looked after or immediately after being looked after became subject to an adoption, child arrangement order or special guardianship order. This includes any child/young person who is subject to a Full Care Order, an interim Care Order, accommodated under Section 22(1) of the Children Act 1989, is remanded or detained into Local Authority accommodation under Criminal Law or who has been placed for adoption. Children 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.
2. 2Sibling in priority area — Children with a sibling, including step-siblings, already at the school who will still be in attendance in years 8-11 inclusive and who live in the priority area.
3. 3Children living within the priority area — Children who live within the priority area (*see below).
4. 4Sibling outside priority area — Children who live outside the priority area with a sibling, including step-siblings, already at the school who will still be in attendance in years 8-11 inclusive.
5. 5Feeder primary schools within Coleshill Learning Community — Children who do not apply in any of the above criteria and attend Year 6 in the primary schools within the Coleshill Learning Community (Coleshill CE Primary School, Shustoke CE Primary, St Edwards' RC Primary, Water Orton Primary School, Curdworth Primary School).
6. 6Nearest outside priority area — Children who live outside the priority area living nearest the school as defined by Warwickshire Local Authority.

Children with an existing statement or EHC plan naming The Coleshill School are admitted before oversubscription criteria apply (statutory duty, not ranked). PAN for Year 7 2026 is 225; PAN for Year 8-10 is also 225; PAN for Year 11 is 210. CATCHMENT: The parishes of Water Orton, Curdworth, Lea Marston, Wishaw, Shustoke, Maxstoke, Nether Whitacre, Over Whitacre, Coleshill, Great Packington and Little Packington are all included. The part of the parish of Fillongley bounded by Shawbury Lane and Newton Lane to their junction and Cow Lane is shared with Ash Green School. 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.
