Etone College Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Etone College?

The catchment area for Etone College is the geographic zone Warwickshire uses to prioritise admissions when this secondary school receives more applications than it has places. Children living inside the boundary are ranked higher under the oversubscription criteria, after looked-after children and siblings. Warwickshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

As an academy, Etone College sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Warwickshire. The catchment area boundary is defined in the school's annual admissions policy, which may differ from the LA's general school admissions arrangements.

Currently oversubscribed: 1170 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 1150 places. Living within the catchment area is especially important for this school.

Etone College has a published admission number of 1150 places. 1170 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 102%. The school is at or above its published limit of 1150 places. Warwickshire allocates places using ranked criteria: looked-after children first, then siblings, then catchment distance. The last-distance figure is likely to remain tight if demand holds at this level.

The fill-rate figure above reflects overall demand, but the school's intake also varies by community profile. 30.2% of pupils at Etone College are eligible for free school meals, broadly in line with the national average. This reflects a mixed catchment population across Warwickshire.
