Distance did not decide places here
Every applicant who applied on time was offered a place for 2026-27 (Year 7), so there was no cut-off distance. This changes from year to year; check the current year's figures before relying on it.
How places were offered at Kingsthorpe College, year by year →
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.
If two applications tie: Should there be an oversubscription in any criterion, places will be awarded to those students who live nearest to the school. Distances are measured from the address point of the home address to Kingsthorpe College on a straight-line basis using WNC’s Geographical Information System.
Important: If parents/carers would like their child to be considered under the Visual or Performing Arts Aptitude criterion for the main admissions round, a SIF “Aptitude Admissions”, available from the school, must be completed and returned to the school. Please check with the school for deadline. Visit the College website for more information about deadlines and workshop dates.
