In 2026-27, the last place at Friars Primary School and Nursery went to an applicant living 0.84 miles from the school. The last place went under “outside of catchment area”, 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 1 year of published distances for this school.
In 2026-27, Friars Primary School and Nursery received 90 applications for 60 places offered — around 1.5 per place offered. 57 named it as a first preference, or about 0.9 first choice per place offered.

The places offered, applications and first preferences for 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 (Reception) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Friars Primary School and Nursery, before it converted.
2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 (Reception) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, Friars Primary School and Nursery (URN 134704): 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.
