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, and in 2026 the last place went under “category 5 (last/lowest-priority oversubscription category, last place by distan”. Published by the council in its 2026 allocation figures, and checked against that document before we show it.
