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.
"Straight line distance between the child's home address and the main school" (Merton Council secondary admissions criteria); the primary criteria page uses the same wording. "Where more than one applicant has the same straight line distance measurement and distance is the determining factor, rank order will be determined by random allocation." Three distance figures are published per school per year -- the National Offer Day figure, a "second round" figure, and a later (1 September) figure reflecting in-year movement -- of which only the first (National Offer Day) is used for max_distance here; the other two are recorded in notes. Two primary schools (Dundonald, Wimbledon Chase) operate an Admissions Priority Area (APA): every applicant living inside the APA is offered a place, and only applicants offered from outside the APA are ranked, and reported, by distance.
Classified as faith_then_distance from the school's name and voluntary-aided status; this source does not publish each school's own admission-criteria order. No applications, admission-criteria breakdown or distance-of-last-offer figures published for this school this year; contact the school directly (own admission authority).
