Key Stage 2 performance

This applies to every infant school in England — it does not mean data is missing. Ofsted judgements and school information are shown below.
Getting a place
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).
