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

Getting a place
Admissions realism: not yet assessed
Admissions realism depends on your home postcode and the school's published allocation data. Enter your postcode on this page to get a more specific assessment, and always verify the latest policy on the school's official admissions page.
This school has a Church of England/Roman Catholic religious character. Admissions may prioritise pupils who meet faith criteria. A Supplementary Information Form (SIF) may be required.
Watch-outs
- Faith admissions criteria apply (Church of England/Roman Catholic). A Supplementary Information Form may be required. Evidence of faith practice may be needed.
What to do next
- Verify the school's official admissions policy
- Download and review the Supplementary Information Form
- Book an open day or school visit
- Add this school to your shortlist and compare with backup options
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 4 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”
- A. Foundation places: the furthest child offered a place lived 8.4 km away (printed 8.449 km).
- B. Foundation places: the furthest child offered a place lived 7.8 km away (printed 7.79 km).
- C. Foundation places: the furthest child offered a place lived 7.2 km away (printed 7.207 km).
- D. Open places: no distance published.
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.

- 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.
