Our Lady & St. Joseph Catholic Academy has a published admission number of 476 places. 562 pupils were enrolled in the most recent data, giving a fill rate of 118%. At 118% 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.
