England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
Will my child get in?
Usually has places available — 0.91 first-choice applications per place (Sept 2026 entry)
| Entry | Places | 1st preferences | Total preferences | Offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept 2026 entry | 148 | 134 | 244 | 148 |
| Sept 2025 entry | 149 | 184 | 300 | 149 |
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.
