The Nethersole CofE Academy Catchment Area Information
What is the catchment area for The Nethersole CofE Academy?
The catchment area for The Nethersole CofE Academy is the geographic zone Warwickshire uses to prioritise admissions when this primary school receives more applications than it has places.

Warwickshire publishes the exact boundary and the last distance offered before each admissions cycle, and the boundary can change year to year.
Admission to The Nethersole CofE Academy is managed by Warwickshire and typically includes both faith criteria and catchment area proximity. The weighting given to each criterion depends on the school's published oversubscription policy, which is reviewed annually.
The official admissions policy, including the catchment boundary map, is published by Warwickshire before each admissions cycle. Always verify your address with the council before submitting an application, as boundaries can change year to year.
