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.
Primary: "Home to school distances will be measured using the shortest walking route" (note 6); catchment-area applicants are prioritised ahead of the borough-wide distance criterion, so the published distance only applies to the (few) places offered to applicants outside their catchment area, and is published in metres (converted to miles here). Secondary: places are allocated mostly by a borough-wide banding test (four bands, by cognitive ability), with distance as the tie-break within each band; the method of measuring that distance is not stated in the prospectus (the table header says "last offer on distance in meters"; converted to miles here).
Catchment-area applicants are prioritised ahead of the borough-wide distance criterion (only 0 of 60 offers this year went to applicants living outside the school's catchment area); the published "tie-break cut off distance" is this school's distance figure for the year, as printed, without further detail on which priority group it was reached under. Published distance 685 metres, converted to miles here.
