In 2021-22, the last place at Holywell Primary and Nursery School went to an applicant living 2.31 miles from the school. The last place went under “Out of area - distance only”, 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.

2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and 2024-25 (Reception) were the admissions rounds of its predecessor, Holywell Primary and Nursery School (URN 132060): 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.
