In every published year (2025-26), Brentside High School offered all applicants a place on national offer day — no distance cut-off applied. Past rounds don't guarantee a place, but on this record every applicant received an offer.
In 2026-27, Brentside High School received 482 applications for 224 places — around 2.2 per place. 79 named it as a first preference, or about 0.4 first choices per place.
Brentside High School 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.

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.
