Admissions and catchment
Year 7 entry · Surrey council allocation figures, 2024–2026
Add a postcode to see where you would sit against past cut-offs.
Places are split into 2 bands and each had its own cut-off in 2026, so your chance depends on which band your child is placed in.
Why we say “Depends on band”
- Distance to school: the furthest child offered a place lived 1.2 km away (printed 1.185 km).
- Distance to Nodal Point: the furthest child offered a place lived 0.7 km away (printed 0.667 km).
What could change this
- Your child’s band comes from the banding test the school or council runs. Ask the school when it takes place.
- 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.
Each band has its own cut-off, so there is no single ring to draw. The bars below show every band’s distance.
