In 2026-27, Chiltern Hills Academy offered every applicant a place on national offer day, so no distance cut-off applied that year. The last year we hold a distance for is 2021-22: the last place went to an applicant living 1.69 miles from the school. The last place went under “rule 4 (catchment)”, a priority group, so this distance applies only to that group, not to every family. We hold 2 years of published distances for this school.
We do not compare these years: we do not hold the criterion the last place went under for every one of them, or it differs between them, so the distances may not be like for like.
In 2026-27, Chiltern Hills Academy received 205 applications for 212 places offered — around 1.0 per place offered. 95 named it as a first preference, or about 0.4 first choices per place offered.

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.
