Years when some first choices missed out: 2025 (4). 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. Seaton Academy sets the admissions rules.
