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

Leicestershire does not publish how far from the school the last child offered a Year 7 place lived, so there is no cut-off distance to show for Manor High School. Ask the school or the council how places were allocated this year.

Manor High 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.
