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.
Hillingdon publishes the "furthest distance offered" in metres (converted to miles here); the Reception tables exclude offers made under the sibling criterion. The measurement method is not stated in these tables. N/A (U) marks an undersubscribed school (everyone who applied was offered), N/A (F) a faith school for which no distance is published, and N/A (B) Swakeleys, which allocates by NVRT ability banding.
90 on-time offers against a published admission number of 90. Furthest distance offered (excluding sibling offers) published as 1636.6004 metres; converted to miles. Criterion the last child was offered under, as published: "Contact School" (Hillingdon notes this does not mean everyone in that criterion was offered).
