In 2026-27, Erdington Academy offered every applicant a place on national offer day, so no distance cut-off applied that year. We hold 1 earlier year of published distances for this school.
In 2026-27, Erdington Academy received 715 applications for 170 places offered — around 4.2 per place offered. 114 named it as a first preference, or about 0.7 first choices per place offered.
Erdington Academy has an upcoming open event: open day on Tuesday, 20 October 2026. Seeing the school in person is the best way to judge whether the cut-off numbers above should worry you.

12 earlier years of Year 7 figures
Last distance offered, places, applications and first preferences for Year 7 entry, 2014-15 to 2025-26, where the council published them, are part of Pro.
Verified from official sources across all four UK nations — when a figure isn't confirmed, we show nothing, never a guess.The places offered, applications and first preferences for 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 (Year 7) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Kingsbury School and Sports College, before it converted.
2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 (Year 7) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, Kingsbury School and Sports College (URN 103526): every figure for those years is that school's.
How to read this: the last distance offered is an outcome of each admission round — how far from the school the final offer reached after places were allocated under the published criteria. It is not a catchment boundary and it moves every year with sibling numbers, birth-year cohort size and application patterns.
Figures come from the local authority's published allocation data. Some councils publish the National Offer Day figure, which can understate the final September position after waiting-list movement — always confirm with the admissions authority before relying on a single year.
