In 2025-26, the last place at Selston High School went to an applicant living 10.68 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.
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, Selston High School received 282 applications for 180 places — around 1.6 per place. 144 named it as a first preference, or about 0.8 first choices per place.

The places offered, applications and first preferences for 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 (Year 7) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Selston High School, before it converted.
2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 (Year 7) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, Selston High School (URN 122857): 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.
