Do schools in Warwick have catchment areas?

Most state schools in Warwick have no fixed catchment boundary. When a school is oversubscribed, Warwickshire allocates places on its published criteria - usually looked-after children first, then siblings, then home-to-school distance - so the practical cut-off moves each year. Each school's page here shows an estimate of its catchment radius.

How do I apply for a school place in Warwick?

Apply to Warwickshire through its coordinated admissions process, even for academies and faith schools.
