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 42.3 is below the national average of around 46. Compare with progress data, which may show a different picture.

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.

Every on-time applicant was offered a place in 2026. Add your postcode to compare with earlier years.
Why we say “Add your postcode”
- In 2026 Kingston upon Thames reports that every on-time applicant was offered a place (national offer day).
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.
Everyone who applied on time was offered a place, so distance did not decide entry and there is no ring to draw.
