Distances are in miles (mi), as in the map app. PAN is the published admission number. Bands and admission groups have separate criteria; school-wide places, applications and offers are not counts for each band. Past offers are a guide, not a promise of a place.
"Applications are considered based on distance from the child's home to the school... measured in a straight line from the home address to the school using a computerised mapping system." (secondary guide, admissions criteria). The primary guide adds: distance is "measured in a straight line between the home and school addresses" using address co-ordinates, "to the centre of the school".
