SourceWhere these figures come from
How it is worked outNorth Tyneside and England: DfE's own averages for results. For the rest, the middle state secondary school of the same phase, from every school we hold, since DfE publishes no council figure we hold.
i
SourceCouncil offer-day figures; none held for this school yet.
How it is worked outThe bars show how far the last place offered reached each year. A full bar means everyone who applied was offered a place; a dash means we hold no distance for that year. Your postcode is set against each year's last distance.
- A record of past years, not a promise: the distance changes every year with who applies.
