In 2023-24, the last place at Ryedale School went to an applicant living 25.56 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 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.
The last distance offered has risen over that period — offers now reach further than they used to.
In 2026-27, Ryedale School received 236 applications for 135 places offered — around 1.7 per place offered. 131 named it as a first preference, or about 1.0 first choice per place offered.

2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 (Year 7) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, Ryedale School (URN 121665): 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.
