Does distance affect secondary school admissions?

Many secondary schools use distance as a tie-breaker after other criteria such as siblings and catchment, so living closer can help. Always check each school's published admissions policy and last distance offered on its profile.

Can I see which secondary schools have a sixth form?

Yes. Each school profile shows whether it has a sixth form. If you specifically want post-16 options, try our sixth form colleges near me page for dedicated 16 to 19 providers.
