“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.
Ealing's tables give the "straight line distance of last place offered (tie-breaker)" in miles ("of a mile" below one mile). Drayton Manor High School's 2021 table instead gives the "shortest walking distance of last place offered".
Published as "All applicants offered".
