Cutoff by admission criterion (2026 entry)

1 Sibling: All on time sibling applications offered
0.888 miles

Places are offered in the order printed above, Sibling: All on time sibling applications offered first and distance last. 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 2022.
