At a glance

An independent secondary school for ages 11–18 in Cheshire. As an independent school, it is inspected by Ofsted under the independent schools framework, outside Ofsted's state-school data. Results aren't compared with the England average for independent schools, as many take qualifications the DfE's measures don't count.

Demand for places and how places are allocated

Search for your address on the map to see straight-line distances to schools.

Independent schools run their own admissions (often with entrance assessments), so they are not part of council application data.

Catchment area

We don't have an official catchment boundary for this school. Many schools don't have one, and few councils publish boundaries as open data. We don't estimate catchments. Check the school's admissions policy or the council's admissions booklet.

Last distance offered

Not published nationally. Many councils publish the furthest distance offered for each school in their annual allocation reports. Past distances vary year to year with demand and sibling numbers, so they are not a guarantee.

How places are allocated: you apply through your home council. When a school has more applicants than places, it applies its published oversubscription criteria in order. These usually start with looked-after children, then siblings, then catchment or distance; faith schools may prioritise church attendance. Children with an EHC plan naming the school are admitted first. Apply on GOV.UK
