Oakley School Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for Oakley School?
Oakley School is a special school in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, and it does not use a standard catchment area. Warwickshire allocates places through each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) rather than home-to-school distance, so placement depends on assessed need rather than a geographic boundary.
Admission to Oakley School follows a different process from mainstream schools. Warwickshire assesses each child's Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) to determine appropriate placement. Catchment area does not apply in the same way as mainstream admissions.
For more information on how Warwickshire assesses EHCP placements and which schools are named, contact the council's SEND team directly. The council must publish its Local Offer explaining available provision.
