In 2026-27, the last place at The Minster Nursery and Infants Church of England Academy went to an applicant living 2.66 miles from the school. The council's figures don't show whether anyone was refused that year, so it may not have been a cut-off. The Minster Nursery and Infants Church of England Academy's first faith priority is in the same criterion as distance, so this distance may not apply to a family with no faith priority. We hold 6 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, The Minster Nursery and Infants Church of England Academy received 66 applications for 60 places — around 1.1 per place. 35 named it as a first preference, or about 0.6 first choices per place.

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, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 (Reception) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, The Minster Nursery and Infant School, before it converted. The applications and first preferences for 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 (Reception) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, The Minster Nursery and Infant School, before it converted.
2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 (Reception) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, The Minster Nursery and Infant School (URN 101791): 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.
