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.
Enfield's secondary guide states GOV.UK distances are "only a guide as Enfield uses its own specialist systems to measure distances when allocating places"; the precise method (straight line vs. walking route) is not stated in these documents.
