Years of distances held
In 2025-26, the last place at Wheatcroft Community Primary School went to an applicant living 1.16 miles from the school. The last place went under “Out of 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 12 years of published distances for this school.

12 earlier years of Reception figures, 2011-12 to 2024-25, are part of Pro.
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.
