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.
"The cut-off distance is the home-to-school distance for the child who gets the last place at the school." For voluntary-aided schools with a religious character, the published cut-off "is only for applicants who were considered for a place using only home-to-school distance as a reason. It does not apply to other applicants considered under reasons of faith or church."
Only the cut-off (last-offered) distance is published for Islington schools on this page; applications, PAN and admission-criteria breakdowns are not published here. "Not applicable" is left as an unknown cut-off (not assumed to mean every applicant was offered a place), because for voluntary-aided/faith schools it can instead mean every place was filled by an applicant admitted under a faith criterion before distance was reached.
