In 2022-23, the last place at Rattlesden Church of England Primary Academy went to an applicant living 1.71 miles from the school. The last place went under “Out-catchment, distance 1.706 miles – see 2022/2023 policy”, 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, Rattlesden Church of England Primary Academy received 26 applications for 20 places — around 1.3 per place. 16 named it as a first preference, or about 0.8 first choices per place.

The places offered, applications and first preferences for 2014-15 and 2015-16 (Reception) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Rattlesden Church of England Voluntary Controlled School, before it converted.
2014-15 and 2015-16 (Reception) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, Rattlesden Church of England Voluntary Controlled School (URN 124711): 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.
