In 2026-27, the last place at The Deanery Church of England High School and Sixth Form College went to an applicant living 1.10 miles from the school. The Deanery Church of England High School and Sixth Form College ranks faith before distance, so this distance describes children who meet its faith priorities; a family with no faith priority comes after them. 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.

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.
