In 2026-27, the last place at Scissett Church of England Academy went to an applicant living 0.97 miles from the school. Scissett Church of England Academy has a religious character and we don't hold its admission arrangements, so we can't tell whether faith comes before distance. We hold 4 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.

12 earlier years of Reception figures, 2014-15 to 2025-26, are part of Pro.
The places offered, applications and first preferences for 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 (Reception) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Scissett Church of England Voluntary Aided First School, before it converted.
2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 (Reception) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, Scissett Church of England Voluntary Aided First School (URN 107743): 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.
