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

Every child who put Whinstone Primary School first was offered a place in 2026, so no distance cut-off applied: living further away did not cost a place that year.

Whinstone 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.
