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 60.3 is well above the national average of around 46. This reflects strong GCSE outcomes across the standard subject basket.

Add a postcode to see where you would sit against past cut-offs.
Last distance offered in 2026: 0.9 km (0.55 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 0.9 km (0.55 miles) from the school: the last distance offered. Harrow printed 0.548 miles (national offer day).
- 1,247 applications for 180 places in 2026 (6.9 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 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.
