Summary

Every offer year from 2019 to 2026 now has its source document in public/Documents, and the About page lists them all.

Document Where it came from Size
High_school_on_time_offers_2026.pdf Downloaded from Ealing Council (allocations for September 2026, offer day 2 March 2026) 210 KB
Starting_High_School_2027.pdf Downloaded from Ealing Council 3.5 MB
High_school_on_time_offers_2024.pdf Internet Archive capture of the council's offers link, 4 July 2024 (allocations for September 2024, offer day 1 March 2024) 214 KB
Starting_High_School_2026.pdf Internet Archive capture of the council's booklet link, 25 October 2025 3.9 MB

The council reuses the same download links every year: the booklet link and the offers link always serve the current file, whatever the filename in the URL says. That's why the 2024 offers and the 2026 booklet are no longer on the council site and had to come from the archive. SOURCES.md now explains this.

What the 2024 document settles

  • William Perkin 2024: 1.160 mi is correct. The 2025 booklet's 1.036 mi was a misprint.
  • But the cut-off is narrower than the app suggests. The cut-off belongs to the "Nearest High School" priority group (1.160 mi in 2024, 0.836 mi in 2025, 0.646 mi in 2026). In the plain "Distance" group every applicant was refused all three years. A home inside the cut-off only qualifies if William Perkin is its nearest high school. This PR only records that in SOURCES.md; the data and app are unchanged.
  • Drayton Manor 2026: the 2026 offers confirm 1.647 mi.

Test plan

  • yarn build
  • Read each PDF's first pages to confirm the year and contents

- High school on-time offers 2024 (recovered from the Internet Archive, 4 July
  2024 capture) and 2026
- Starting High School 2026 (Internet Archive, 25 October 2025) and 2027
- About page lists all of them, plus the 2022 on-time offers already in the repo
- SOURCES.md: every offer year now has a copy in the repo; notes why older
  files came from the archive (the council reuses its download links); the
  2024 on-time offers confirm William Perkin's 1.160 mi, and show its cut-off
  only applies to children for whom it's the nearest high school
