Distance depends on the band here

Leigh Stationers' Academy admits by banding: applicants are placed into bands and each band is filled separately, so there is no single last-offer distance. Each band has its own, and which one applies depends on your child's assessment — so one number could not answer this for every child.

How the bands work: Fair banding test splitting applicants into 5 equally sized bands based on test results, with specified rules for allocating extra applicants when numbers are not divisible by five, and priority criteria used to resolve equal test scores when splitting into bands.

Your local authority’s admissions booklet publishes the cut-off for each band. The full ranked criteria are on the Admissions tab.
