Years when some first choices missed out: 2020 (1). The council runs the coordinated admissions; each school’s rules (siblings, distance, faith) decide who gets in. DfE doesn’t publish the furthest distance offered, so check the council’s admissions booklet for that. Diocese of St Albans Multi-Academy Trust sets the admissions rules. Apply through Central Bedfordshire council’s coordinated admissions.
