Abbey CofE Infant School: heavily oversubscribed at 113% capacity

Abbey CofE Infant School has a published admission number of 180 places. 203 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 113%. At 113% capacity, the school is heavily oversubscribed. Warwickshire allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. Living within the catchment area is a strong but not guaranteed advantage, as the last distance offered shrinks each year as applications rise.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 30.7% of pupils at Abbey CofE Infant School are eligible for free school meals, broadly in line with the national average. This reflects a mixed catchment population across Warwickshire.
