In 2026-27, the last place at Didcot Girls' School went to an applicant living 3.34 miles from the school. We hold 11 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 fallen over that period — offers now reach less far than they used to.
In 2026-27, Didcot Girls' School received 471 applications for 270 places — around 1.7 per place. 280 named it as a first preference, or about 1.0 first choice per place.
Didcot Girls' School has 4 upcoming open events: open day on Monday, 21 June 2027 · open day on Tuesday, 22 June 2027 · open day on Wednesday, 23 June 2027. Seeing the school in person is the best way to judge whether the cut-off numbers above should worry you.

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.
