In 2025 the last place offered on distance in band Open went to a child living 0.84 miles away.
“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.
Each school sets its own measure. Community schools and most others use a straight line from the Ordnance Survey address point of the home to the school gate, measured with the council's geographical information system. Some schools instead use "the shortest route by road and/or maintained footpath": Turing House School (to its 'Sun Stairs' door for 20% of places and to a nodal admissions point in Somerset Gardens, Teddington for 80%) and Waldegrave School (to the nearest pedestrian gate, within priority areas A and B). Two figures are published per school per year: the National Offer Day cut-off (used for max_distance) and the furthest distance offered by the end of national coordination on 31 August (in notes).
Christ's School (Church of England) offers up to 60 Christian foundation places, ranked by worship/deanery criteria then siblings/staff/distance, and 90 open places ranked by siblings, staff and distance; each group has its own cut-off. Foundation: National Offer Day: all preferences met. Foundation: End of national coordination: all preferences met. Open: End of national coordination: 1.458 miles.
