In 2026-27, Colne Valley High School offered every applicant a place on national offer day, so no distance cut-off applied that year. We hold 5 earlier 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, Colne Valley High School received 354 applications for 287 places — around 1.2 per place. 194 named it as a first preference, or about 0.7 first choices per place.

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.The places offered, applications and first preferences for 2014-15 (Year 7) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Colne Valley High School, before it converted.
2014-15 (Year 7) was the admissions round of its predecessor, Colne Valley High School (URN 107766): every figure for that year 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.
