In 2025 the last place offered on distance went to a child living 2.51 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.

Barnet prints the "furthest distance offered (miles)" for each distance-based criterion; the primary tables describe it as the "furthest straight-line distance in miles".

Furthest distance is printed against the "Geographical Distance" criterion.
