In 2023-24, the last place at Graham School went to an applicant living 13.99 miles from the school. The last place went under “Out Catchment Distance”, to a child living outside the catchment, so this distance applies to families living outside the catchment, not to everyone: children living inside it rank ahead. We hold 1 year of published distances for this school.
In 2026-27, Graham School received 310 applications for 181 places offered — around 1.7 per place offered. 128 named it as a first preference, or about 0.7 first choices per place offered.

The applications and first preferences for 2014-15 (Year 7) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Graham School, before it converted. The places offered, applications and first preferences for 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 (Year 7) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Graham School, before it converted.
2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19 and 2019-20 (Year 7) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, Graham School (URN 121675): 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.
