In 2026 the last distances offered ranged from 0.76 to 1.77 miles across the published bands or admission groups.

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.

Distances are published as "up to X miles (straight-line distance)" for the last offer under each criterion; the admissions brochures state distance is measured in a straight line from the home address point to the school's address point.

Band A: "54 offers total - 1 LAC, 1 staff child, 7 siblings, remaining places offered up to 1.767 miles" Band B: "54 offers total - 0 LACs, 18 siblings, remaining places offered up to 1.287 miles" Band C: "54 offers total - 0 LACs, 12 siblings, remaining places offered up to 1.121 miles" Band D: "36 offers total - 1 LAC, 16 siblings, remaining places offered up to 0.761 of a mile" The school publishes a separate last distance for each criterion/band, shown as groups.
