Admissions
| Entry year | Last distance offered | Places (PAN) | Applications | Offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
2026 | All offered | 210 | Not published | Not published |
“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.
The published tables give the "Cut off Distance" (miles) with no stated measurement method. "n/a" is published whenever the school still had places available after all other criteria were applied (i.e. it did not need to use the distance criterion to refuse anyone that year).
2 place(s) remained unfilled after all criteria were applied: the distance criterion was never needed.
