Offer-day allocation figures published by Surrey County Council for entry in September 2026 (booklet: FINAL-Junior-allocation-figures-September-2026-V1.pdf). This school publishes more than one ranked list in a single block, so the rules are labelled by the place category they belong to. PAN as printed: "Full Boarders = 40 & Flexi Boarders = 20". Number offered as printed: "Full Boarders = Still to allocate full boarding places, Flexi Boarders = 27 (this school intends to maintain a PAN of 27)". The PAN is split between place categories, so no single published admission number is recorded.

Published by the admission authority. Meeting a criterion never guarantees a place — it sets the order places are offered in. Full detail, other entry points and previous years are on the Admissions tab.
