Admissions and catchment
Year 7 entry · Richmond upon Thames 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”
- 20%: the furthest child offered a place lived 0.7 km away (printed 0.68 km).
- 80%: the furthest child offered a place lived 1.8 km away (printed 1.789 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.

University destinations
Share of this school's sixth-form leavers who went on to Oxford or Cambridge, a Russell Group university, or a university in the top third by entry grades. Department for Education data for state-funded schools and colleges.

|---|---|---|---|---|

- 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.
