“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.
The published tables give the "Cut off Distance" (miles) with no stated measurement method. "n/a" is published whenever the school still had places available after all other criteria were applied (i.e. it did not need to use the distance criterion to refuse anyone that year).
29 place(s) remained unfilled after all criteria were applied: the distance criterion was never needed.
