England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
Will my child get in?
Usually has places available — 0.94 first-choice applications per place (Sept 2026 entry)
| Entry | Places | 1st preferences | Total preferences | Offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept 2026 entry | 52 | 49 | 112 | 52 |
| Sept 2025 entry | 60 | 59 | 126 | 60 |
| Sept 2024 entry | 35 | 29 | 99 | 33 |
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.
