Red dashed line = one first choice per place. How to read this

The cut-off distance is how far the last child offered a place lived, not a catchment boundary: it moves every year with the number of applicants. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.

Application figures: DfE, school level applications and offers (2026 intake).

The proportion reaching the expected standard has fallen by 6.0 percentage points compared with the previous year.

Hotham Primary School is oversubscribed: about 5 in 10 of the families who made it their first choice were offered a Reception place for September 2026, with 97 first choices for 59 places. In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 0.55 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. Overall pupil absence was 5.5%. There are about 17.1 pupils per teacher. Hotham Primary School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links above.
