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.

Brent publishes, for each admission criterion, the furthest distance offered in metres (converted to miles here); the measurement method is not stated in these tables. Furthest distance is not shown for looked-after, social/medical, pupil premium and staff children.

Furthest distance offered by criterion (converted from metres): Sibling: 3.053 mi; Distance: 1.645 mi. Cut-off taken as the furthest distance offered under the last criterion reached, "Distance" (2646.8 metres). Brent status: Oversubscribed.
