The table shows how Year 7 places were offered on National Offer Day (1st March) for September entry in the current and previous 4 years. It also shows the number of appeals, and success rates.
*To accommodate 2 late EHCP application approvals and assist the Council to meet its legal obligation to provide a school place for each child, the school agreed to offer 2 places over its Published Admission Number (PAN) on 2 March 2026, with the clear intention that this number would fall back to PAN before any further offers were made from the waiting list.
