England has three coexisting inspection systems — how we translate them into one signal.
Will my child get in?
Roughly one first choice per place — 0.97 first-choice applications per place (Sept 2026 entry)
| Entry | Places | 1st preferences | Total preferences | Offers |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sept 2026 entry | 89 | 86 | 157 | 89 |
| Sept 2025 entry | 72 | 69 | 132 | 72 |
| Sept 2024 entry | 85 | 82 | 153 | 85 |
| Sept 2023 entry | 70 | 70 | 132 | 70 |
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.
