England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
Will my child get in?
Usually has places available — 0.88 first-choice applications per place (primary entry, Sept 2026 entry)
Oversubscribed — 1.45 first-choice applications per place (secondary entry, Sept 2026 entry)
| Entry | Places | 1st preferences | Total preferences | Offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept 2026 entry | 52 | 46 | 150 | 52 |
| Sept 2026 entry | 102 | 148 | 273 | 102 |
| Sept 2025 entry | 53 | 53 | 130 | 53 |
| Sept 2025 entry | 109 | 145 | 282 | 109 |
| Sept 2024 entry | 54 | 50 | 122 | 54 |
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.
