In 2025-26, the last place at Kings' School went to an applicant living 11.92 miles from the school. The council's figures don't show whether anyone was refused that year, so it may not have been a cut-off. We hold 11 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, Kings' School received 773 applications for 373 places offered — around 2.1 per place offered. 318 named it as a first preference, or about 0.9 first choices per place offered.

11 earlier years of Year 7 figures
Last distance offered, places, applications and first preferences for Year 7 entry, 2014-15 to 2024-25, 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.
