In 2026-27, West Exe School offered every applicant a place on national offer day, so no distance cut-off applied that year. We hold 2 earlier 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, West Exe School received 330 applications for 252 places — around 1.3 per place. 230 named it as a first preference, or about 0.9 first choices per place.

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, 2016-17 and 2017-18 (Year 7) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, West Exe School, before it converted.
2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 (Year 7) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, West Exe School (URN 113505): 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.
