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

Admissions and catchment
Year 7 entry · Stockport council allocation figures, 2022–2025
Add a postcode to see where you would sit against past cut-offs.
Every on-time applicant was offered a place in 2025. Add your postcode to compare with earlier years.
Why we say “Add your postcode”
- In 2025 Stockport reports that every on-time applicant was offered a place (national offer day).
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.
Everyone who applied on time was offered a place, so distance did not decide entry and there is no ring to draw.
Last offer distance
Furthest child offered a place.
