“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.
Primary: "Home to school distances will be measured using the shortest walking route" (note 6); catchment-area applicants are prioritised ahead of the borough-wide distance criterion, so the published distance only applies to the (few) places offered to applicants outside their catchment area, and is published in metres (converted to miles here). Secondary: places are allocated mostly by a borough-wide banding test (four bands, by cognitive ability), with distance as the tie-break within each band; the method of measuring that distance is not stated in the prospectus (the table header says "last offer on distance in meters"; converted to miles here).
Places are allocated mostly by a borough-wide banding test (Band A-D, by cognitive ability), with distance the tie-break within each band; "n/a" published for a band means every applicant in that band was offered a place. Published as "last offer on distance in meters"; converted to miles here.
