England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
Will my child get in?
Roughly one first choice per place — 1 first-choice application per place (Sept 2026 entry)
| Entry | Places | 1st preferences | Total preferences | Offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept 2026 entry | 33 | 33 | 50 | 33 |
| Sept 2025 entry | 24 | 23 | 39 | 24 |
| Sept 2024 entry | 32 | 32 | 39 | 32 |
| Sept 2023 entry | 21 | 20 | 28 | 20 |
| Sept 2022 entry | 31 | 25 | 35 | 27 |
First-choice demand varies year to year, and the school’s admission criteria — not demand — decide who is offered a place. Use this as a rough signal, never a prediction.
