† Distance for the last admission rule places reached (for example, children without a sibling). The school page names the rule.
Reading these figures
- “All offered” means every applicant who named the school was offered a place that year, so there was no cut-off.
- A dash means the council published no distance for that school and year: it may have filled on other rules, such as faith or banding.
- Distances move every year with sibling numbers and year-group size. Check several years, and the council’s admission arrangements for the year you apply.
