Cutoff by admission criterion (2026 entry)

Sibling
5439.05 m (≈3.38 mi)

The criteria above are applied in the order the school sets out in its admission arrangements, and distance is the last of them. A wider figure under one of them is not a wider catchment: it is how far the school reached among children who already met that criterion, before distance decided anything. A child living closer than that figure, who met none of those criteria, was still offered a place only within the distance cutoff above.

Premium shows the exact distance behind every year back to 2014.
