In 2026 the furthest child offered a place lived 1.73 miles from the school in a straight line, according to the council's published allocation figures; the distance changes every year with demand. There are about 21.8 pupils per teacher. Its intake is relatively advantaged, with around 10% of pupils eligible for free school meals in the last six years versus about 24% nationally. Given the recent dip in results, it may be worth asking the school what is behind the change and what is being done in response.
