In 2022-23, the last place at Uplands Academy went to an applicant living 13.05 miles from the school. We hold 3 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, Uplands Academy received 314 applications for 150 places — around 2.1 per place. 124 named it as a first preference, or about 0.8 first choices per place.

The places offered, applications and first preferences for 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2021-22 (Year 7) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Uplands Community College, before it converted. The applications and first preferences for 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2022-23 (Year 7) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Uplands Community College, before it converted.
2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 (Year 7) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, Uplands Community College (URN 114591): 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.
