What the data says
Published data, read plainly. It tells you what to check next; it does not guarantee a place or replace your local authority’s admissions guidance.
Attainment 8 of 49.2 is close to the national average of around 46.

Progress is close to average or statistically uncertain because the confidence interval crosses zero. This does not necessarily mean the school adds or detracts from pupil progress.

Add a postcode to see where you would sit against past cut-offs.
Last distance offered in 2026: 6.6 km (4.10 miles), the furthest a child offered a place lived from the school. Add your postcode to see where you would sit.
Why we say “Add your postcode”
- In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 6.6 km (4.10 miles) from the school: the last distance offered. Stockport printed 4.1 miles (first allocation).
What could change this
- We measure a straight line from your postcode centre. The council measures from your home address, sometimes along walking routes, so treat anything near the line with care.
- Cut-offs move every year with the number of applicants and siblings.
- Children with an EHC plan, looked-after children and siblings are usually offered places before distance is used.
- Past allocations never guarantee a place.
Rings are straight-line distance from the school, not a catchment boundary. Councils measure from your home address, sometimes along walking routes, and the distance changes every year.
