In 2026-27, the last place at Chosen Hill School went to an applicant living 2.71 miles from the school. The last place went under “Furthest distance offered 2.713, outside of the catchment area”, to a child living outside the catchment, so this distance applies to families living outside the catchment, not to everyone: children living inside it rank ahead. 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.
In 2026-27, Chosen Hill School received 878 applications for 228 places — around 3.9 per place. 211 named it as a first preference, or about 0.9 first choices per place.
Chosen Hill School has an upcoming open event: open day on Wednesday, 13 January 2027. Seeing the school in person is the best way to judge whether the cut-off numbers above should worry you.

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.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.
