“All offered” means the published group had places for all eligible applicants; its distance is not a cut-off for admission.

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 council's tables give the last distance offered in metres, "straight line" for community schools and most others; some foundation and voluntary-aided schools state a walking route instead (e.g. Julian's Primary School "shortest walking route", and "safest walking route" / "walking distance" for some church schools), recorded per school in notes. Figures are as at National Offer Day and cover on-time applications only.

All applicants received a place at the school or a higher preferred offer.
