In 2026-27, the last place at Ripon Grammar School went to an applicant living 10.48 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 3 years of published distances for this school.
The last distance offered has risen over that period — offers now reach further than they used to. Across the 3 years of published distances, the last distance offered has ranged from 7.13 miles (2024-25, the tightest) to 10.48 miles (2026-27, the most open).
In 2026-27, Ripon Grammar School received 235 applications for 110 places offered — around 2.1 per place offered. 165 named it as a first preference, or about 1.5 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.
