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.
"Distance is measured in a straight line from the home address to the centre point of the school" (footnote to every Harrow allocation table). Distances are published in miles.
Harrow's table gives only places, applications and total offers for this school, which is its own admission authority: "contact the school directly" for the breakdown.
