Places Offered

Subscription: 2.1xOversubscribed

This school received 2.1x more applications than available places for secondary school entry.

Understanding Subscription Rates:

•Oversubscription: A subscription rate above 1.0 indicates the school is oversubscribed, meaning it receives more applications than available places. The higher the number, the more competitive admission becomes.
•Fully subscribed: A subscription rate of exactly 1.0 indicates the school is fully subscribed, meaning it receives applications equal to the number of available places. Every place can be filled without turning away applicants.
•Undersubscribed: A subscription rate below 1.0 indicates the school is undersubscribed, meaning it receives fewer applications than available places. The school has unfilled spaces and all applicants can typically be offered a place. Note that these schools may still fill places through late applications and in-year admissions (see below).

Applications: All preferences received by 31 October 2024 deadline.

Offers: Total offers made by National Offer Day, 03 March 2025 (secondary schools) and 16 April 2025 (primary schools).

For undersubscribed schools, offers may exceed applications due to:

•Late applications received after the October deadline
•Families moving into the catchment area
•In-year admissions and school transfers
•Places reallocated when families decline offers
•Waiting list movement before National Offer Day
