School applications

We've matched the postcode to Warwickshire.

You apply through this education local authority even if the school is in another council area.

Stratford-on-Avon is the district council. School applications go through Warwickshire.

Last published allocation

None of the schools listed here has a published last-distance figure, so we cannot compare a postcode with last year's allocation. We do not draw catchment maps in this list; where we hold a council's map, it is on the school's page.

Apply for a primary place via Warwickshire

GOV.UK is the official apply and admissions handoff. We do not link a generic council homepage. Per-LA composite prospectus URLs are not in the API yet.
