Admissions

Can I get my child into this school?

Last published allocation was 20,501 m (straight line).

Offer day 2 Mar 2026 · Sep 2026 entry · Last criterion: Last-offer (miles) for the final distance-limited category: 12.739 in rule 7 (Distance). Also offered: rule 2 Catchment & Pupil Premium; rule 3 Catchment & Pupil Premium scoring 115-120; rule 4 Siblings & Linked Siblings; rule 6 Catchment. Stored figure is the published last-offer for the final distance-limited category only — not a blended figure across categories or score bands. Straight-line from the child's normal home address point (OS Address-Base) to the nearest open school gate (Buckinghamshire Council). National Offer Day 2 March 2026 secondary snapshot only. Grammar 11+ / Pupil Premium score bands in the allocation prose are admission-rule text — not metres.

This does not guarantee you will get a place.
