In 2025-26, the last place at Brownhills Ormiston Academy went to an applicant living 4.04 miles from the school. The council's figures don't show whether anyone was refused that year, so it may not have been a cut-off. We hold 3 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, Brownhills Ormiston Academy received 364 applications for 150 places — around 2.4 per place. 129 named it as a first preference, or about 0.9 first choices per place.

The places offered, applications and first preferences for 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 (Year 7) are DfE's figures for its predecessor, Brownhills School, before it converted.
2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20 and 2020-21 (Year 7) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, Brownhills School (URN 104248): 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.
