“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.
Barnet prints the "furthest distance offered (miles)" for each distance-based criterion; the primary tables describe it as the "furthest straight-line distance in miles".
Furthest distance is printed against the "Geographical Distance" criterion.
