Common questions
What is the catchment area for Kineton High School?
Kineton High School 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 5.126 miles away, per Warwickshire.
How close do I need to live to get a place at Kineton High School?
Nobody can say in advance, and anyone who does is guessing. 5.126 miles was enough in 2025/26, and at 99% 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 Kineton High School guarantee a place?
No. Admission criteria usually put looked-after children, siblings ahead of distance, so places can be filled before distance is reached. Councils also check that the address is genuinely where the child lives.
