In 2025 the last distances offered ranged from 0.39 to 1.05 miles across the published bands or admission groups.
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.
Distances are published as "up to X miles (straight-line distance)" for the last offer under each criterion; the admissions brochures state distance is measured in a straight line from the home address point to the school's address point.
Band A: "28 offers (including 6 siblings), last offer up to 1.051 miles straight-line outside the priority area" Band B: "28 offers (including 1 CLA and 1 sibling), last offer up to 0.688 miles straight-line to a sibling outside the priority area" Band C: "28 offers (including 1 staff child and 2 siblings), last offer up to 0.658 miles straight- line outside the priority area" Band D: "28 offers (including 4 siblings), last offer up to 0.850 miles straight-line to a sibling outside the priority area" Band E: "28 offers (including 9 EHCP), last offer up to 0.393 miles straight-line inside the priority area" The school publishes a separate last distance for each criterion/band, shown as groups.
