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.
Kingston's admission criteria measure distance "by a straight line in metres to the nearest school gate" (community schools) using the School Admissions computerised geographical information system, from the Ordnance Survey address point of the home; the Tiffin School likewise measures straight-line distance to the nearest Tiffin pedestrian gate, but only to break a tie on test score. Two figures are published per school per year: the cut-off at National Offer Day (used for max_distance) and the furthest distance offered by the end of national coordination (in notes). "All preferences met" means every applicant who named the school was offered; "Overseas" means the last place went to an applicant living overseas, i.e. every UK-resident applicant ranked by distance was offered.
Furthest distance offered from the waiting list by the end of national coordination: 4.13 miles.
