The circle is 0.393 miles, the distance the school admitted from in 2025/26. Real admission areas are not circular: this is the distance, not a boundary.

This is not a catchment area. Most English schools do not have one. When St Thomas More Catholic Academy and Sixth Form College is oversubscribed, places go outward from the school until they run out, so the distance moves each year with how many families applied and where they lived. 0.393 miles was last year's outcome, not a boundary and not a promise.

Common questions

What is the catchment area for St Thomas More Catholic Academy and Sixth Form College?

St Thomas More Catholic Academy and Sixth Form College does not have one in the sense most people mean. Like most English schools, an oversubscribed year offers places outward from the school until they run out. The nearest thing to an answer: the furthest child admitted in 2025/26 lived 0.393 miles away, per Warwickshire.

How close do I need to live to get a place at St Thomas More Catholic Academy and Sixth Form College?

Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 0.393 miles was enough in 2025/26, and at 104% full the school has little slack. The distance moves every year with the number of applications, so treat last year's figure as evidence, not a promise.

Does buying a house near St Thomas More Catholic Academy and Sixth Form College guarantee a place?

No. Admission criteria usually put looked-after children, siblings and faith criteria ahead of distance, so places can be filled before distance is reached. Councils also check that the address is genuinely where the child lives.
