Admissions

In 2026 the last place offered on distance went to a child living 0.92 miles away.

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).
