Do schools have to publish data on how far away the last successful applicant was in previous years?
Our first choice for our Y6 child is a outstanding, oversubscribed grant-maintained CofE school. We are the highest admission category re church attendance but we are 4 miles away and I can't find any info on how far away their 'catchment' has extended in previous years.
Our second choice is our most local school which is 1 mile away, but based on their published allocation statement last year we would have missed out on a place by about 100m.
Then we have two schools neither of which we like much at 1.3 miles away, but are at least fairly local.
Worried that we put three of these four down and get none of them. There's nothing else within a couple of miles, and whereas we are prepared to foot travel costs for our preferred school it would be pretty galling to have to do it for one that was not a preference at all. Any advice?
