In 2026-27, Leeds East Academy offered every applicant a place on national offer day, so no distance cut-off applied that year. The last year we hold a distance for is 2025-26: the last place went to an applicant living 1.94 miles from the school. We hold 2 years of published distances for this school.
Across the 2 years of published distances, the last distance offered has ranged from 0.93 miles (2024-25, the tightest) to 1.94 miles (2025-26, the most open).
In 2026-27, Leeds East Academy received 276 applications for 164 places offered — around 1.7 per place offered. 101 named it as a first preference, or about 0.6 first choices per place offered.

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.
