In 2026-27, the last place at St Michael's Catholic School went to an applicant living 0.62 miles from the school. St Michael's Catholic School has a religious character and we don't hold its admission arrangements, so we can't tell whether faith comes before distance. We hold 12 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.
The last distance offered has fallen over that period — offers now reach less far than they used to.
In 2026-27, St Michael's Catholic School received 105 applications for 60 places — around 1.8 per place. 41 named it as a first preference, or about 0.7 first choices per place.

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.
