Distance (general admissions band)This is the distance band that applies to most families. Other bands (e.g. sibling, EHCP, looked after children, faith, feeder school, aptitude) may have different — often larger — distances but apply to fewer applicants.
Important
Last distance offered is historical data and varies significantly each year. Living within the catchment area, local authority, close proximity to the school, or within the last distance offered does not guarantee an offer.
Always confirm current admissions criteria directly with the school or local authority.
