Furthest distance offered3.73 miles

The last place offered on distance went to a child living 3.73 miles away.

Applications include first, second and third preferences. Distance only decides places after higher priorities such as looked-after children, siblings and catchment, and changes every year, so these figures are a guide, not a guarantee.
