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.

Kingston's admission criteria measure distance "by a straight line in metres to the nearest school gate" (community schools) using the School Admissions computerised geographical information system, from the Ordnance Survey address point of the home; the Tiffin School likewise measures straight-line distance to the nearest Tiffin pedestrian gate, but only to break a tie on test score. Two figures are published per school per year: the cut-off at National Offer Day (used for max_distance) and the furthest distance offered by the end of national coordination (in notes). "All preferences met" means every applicant who named the school was offered; "Overseas" means the last place went to an applicant living overseas, i.e. every UK-resident applicant ranked by distance was offered.

The Tiffin Girls' School admits girls by rank order of the combined mark in its own two-stage entrance test, with up to 60 places for girls in its inner area scoring at or above the 350th mark and the rest by mark (designated area first); distance only breaks ties. No distance cut-off is published. The council publishes no allocation figures for this school ("contact the school for allocation information").
