“Not published (small cohort)” means the DfE suppressed the figure to protect small cohorts — it is not a zero.

Roughly one first choice per place — 1 first-choice application per place (Sept 2026 entry)

First-choice demand varies year to year, and the school’s admission criteria — not demand — decide who is offered a place. Use this as a rough signal, never a prediction.
