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.

Academic outcomes
Developing academic outcomes

Attainment 8 of 36.6 is significantly below the national average. Progress 8 and pupil context may still indicate positive value-added.

Add your postcode

Add a postcode to see where you would sit against past cut-offs.

The furthest child offered a place in 2026 under the “In Priority Area, Not Nearest School” rule lived 8.6 km from the school. Add your postcode to see where you would sit.

Why we say “Add your postcode”

  1. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place under the “In Priority Area, Not Nearest School” rule lived 8.6 km from the school. Hertfordshire printed 8,611.01 m (allocation day).
  2. 218 applications for 150 places in 2026 (1.5 per place).
What could change this
  • This cut-off only applied to children living in the school’s priority area.
  • 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.
The council printed a separate distance for each admission rule in 2026. We use the rule places ran out under (“In Priority Area, Not Nearest School”); the others are in the table of sources below.

Rings are to scale in straight-line km. Your marker’s direction is arbitrary; only its distance from the school matters.

  • The DfE stopped publishing Oxbridge and Russell Group shares for individual schools after the 2022-23 performance tables (students who left in 2019/20). Top-third figures continue.
  • Figures are percentages of all students who finished 16 to 18 study at the school, counting those who sustained a university place in the two years after leaving.
  • Rankings use the average across years weighted by the number of students; a school needs at least 2 years and 50 students to be ranked. The top-third ranking uses the latest 3 years. Ranks are among state-funded schools and colleges.
  • '<0.5%' means above zero but under half a percent. 'Suppressed' means 5 or fewer students.
  • Some years were published under this school's previous URN, before it converted or merged.
  • Source: Department for Education, 16 to 18 progression to higher education or training (Compare school and college performance, Explore education statistics).
