In 2025-26, the last place at Magnus Church of England Academy went to an applicant living 10.83 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. Magnus Church of England Academy's first faith priority is in the same criterion as distance, so this distance may not apply to a family with no faith priority. We hold 2 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, Magnus Church of England Academy received 197 applications for 180 places — around 1.1 per place. 97 named it as a first preference, or about 0.5 first choices per place.

The places offered, applications and first preferences for 2014-15 (Year 7) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Magnus CofE School, before it converted.
2014-15 (Year 7) was the admissions round of its predecessor, Magnus CofE School (URN 131360): every figure for that year 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.
