Offer-day allocation figures published by Surrey County Council for entry in September 2026 (booklet: FINAL-Secondary-allocation-figures-September-2026-V2.pdf). Criteria are the school's own published oversubscription criteria as printed in that booklet; "Criterion n = x" gives the number of places offered under each rule. Council note on the number offered: this school intends to drop back to PAN.

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.
