“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.

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.

"All applicants who applied were offered a place."
