In every year shown, every family who put it first was offered a place. 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. The Good Shepherd Multi Academy Trust sets the admissions rules. Apply through Cumberland council’s coordinated admissions.
