What the rings mean

- Each ring shows how far from the school the last child offered a place on distance lived, - on national offer day for the year you pick. If you lived inside it that year, distance alone would - have got you a place. Children in higher priority groups, such as looked-after children and siblings, - are offered places first, so the cut-off moves from year to year. + Each ring shows the furthest distance from the school that a place was offered on distance, on national + offer day in the year you pick.

Your chances

-

- Each school is ranked by how many of the years since 2019 your home fell inside its cut-off. - Very likely means every year, Possible at least half, Unlikely fewer than half, - and Outside none. Years when everyone got a place count as inside, and years too close to call - count as half. Past cut-offs are a guide, not a promise. +

How your chances are worked out

+

We count how many years since 2019 your home was inside each school's ring.

+
+
Very likely
Inside every year
+
Possible
Inside at least half the years
+
Unlikely
Inside in fewer than half
+
Outside
Never inside
+
+

+ Years when everyone got a place count as inside. A home within about 50 metres of the ring is too close to + call and counts as half.

How distance is measured

- Most Ealing schools measure in a straight line from your home to the school. Drayton Manor measures - walking distance along pavements, so its area follows the street network rather than a circle. + Most schools use a straight line from your home to the school. Drayton Manor uses walking distance, so we + ask Google Maps how far your walk is. The council measures from its own address points, so our figures can + differ slightly from theirs.

+
+ +
+

Schools with extra rules

- Your walking distance comes from Google Maps walking directions to the school. It's an estimate: the - council uses its own address points and routes, so results within about 50 metres of the line are marked - too close to call. + Faith schools, specialist places and priority for children whose nearest school it is all change who the + ring applies to. These schools have a note in their details: read it before relying on the ring.

Ofsted grades

- Ofsted stopped giving schools one overall grade in September 2024. Since November 2025, inspections produce a - report card that grades each area separately, from exceptional to urgent improvement. For - older inspections we show the overall grade and its date. For report cards we summarise the area grades - and list them in the school's details. + Ofsted stopped giving one overall grade in September 2024, and since November 2025 its report cards grade + each area separately. We show the last overall grade with its date, or a summary of the report card with + every area listed in the school's details.
