“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.
"Distance is measured in a straight line from the home address to the centre point of the school" (footnote to every Harrow allocation table). Distances are published in miles.
No furthest distance was published and 128 offers were made against 210 places: every applicant was offered a place.
