How far it admitted from

6.159 miles

In the 2025/26 admissions round, the furthest-away child offered a place at Coleshill Church of England Primary School lived 6.159 miles from the school. Published by Warwickshire.

This is not a catchment area. Most English schools do not have one. When a school is oversubscribed, places are offered outward from it until they run out, so the distance changes every year with how many children applied and where they lived. A figure of 6.159 miles last year does not guarantee a place at 6.159 miles this year, and living closer than that is not a guarantee either. Treat it as the best available evidence, not a boundary.

Common questions

What is the catchment area for Coleshill Church of England Primary School?

It does not have one in the sense most people mean. Like most English schools, when it is oversubscribed it offers places outward from the school until they run out. The nearest thing to an answer is that the furthest child admitted in 2025/26 lived 6.159 miles away, according to Warwickshire.

How close do I need to live to get a place?

Nobody can tell you that in advance, and anyone who says otherwise is guessing. The distance moves every year with the number of applications. 6.159 miles was enough last year, which makes it the best evidence available, not a promise about next year.

Does buying a house nearby guarantee a place?

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