In 2023-24, the last place at Sherburn High School went to an applicant living 11.46 miles from the school. The last place went under “Out Catchment Sibling”, a priority group, so this distance applies only to that group, not to every family. We hold 3 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.
In 2026-27, Sherburn High School received 268 applications for 179 places offered — around 1.5 per place offered. 173 named it as a first preference, or about 1.0 first choice per place offered.

The applications and first preferences for 2014-15 (Year 7) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Sherburn High 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, Sherburn High 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, Sherburn High School (URN 121695): 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.
