In 2026-27, the last place at North Oxfordshire Academy went to an applicant living 2.64 miles from the school. The last place went under “5. Children who attend one of the designated feeder schools in the partnership and live in the catc…”, a priority group, so this distance applies only to that group, not to every family. We hold 12 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, North Oxfordshire Academy received 441 applications for 180 places — around 2.5 per place. 219 named it as a first preference, or about 1.2 first choices per place.

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.
