Foxford Community School Catchment Area Information

What is the catchment area for Foxford Community School?

The catchment area for Foxford Community School is the geographic zone Coventry 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. Coventry publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.

As an academy, Foxford Community School sets its own admissions criteria, agreed with Coventry. 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: 1060 pupils enrolled against a capacity of 1035 places. Living within the catchment area is especially important for this school.
