Admissions and catchment
Year 7 entry · Newcastle upon Tyne council allocation figures, 2018–2020
Add a postcode to see where you would sit against past cut-offs.
Every on-time applicant was offered a place in 2020. Add your postcode to compare with earlier years.
Why we say “Add your postcode”
- In 2020 Newcastle upon Tyne reports that every on-time applicant was offered a place (offer_day).
- 409 applications for 128 places in 2020 (3.2 per place).
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 to scale in straight-line km. Your marker’s direction is arbitrary; only its distance from the school matters.
