“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.

Barnet prints the "furthest distance offered (miles)" for each distance-based criterion; the primary tables describe it as the "furthest straight-line distance in miles".

Community school with a defined (catchment) area: after looked-after children, EHCPs, exceptional need and siblings, children living in the defined area are offered places before children living outside it, each by straight-line distance. All applicants inside and outside the defined area were offered a place.
