England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
Will my child get in?
Usually has places available — 0.86 first-choice applications per place (Sept 2026 entry)
| Entry | Places | 1st preferences | Total preferences | Offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept 2026 entry | 101 | 87 | 160 | 92 |
| Sept 2025 entry | 109 | 98 | 187 | 101 |

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.
