Years when some first choices missed out: 2024 (6), 2026 (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. The Great Schools Trust sets the admissions rules. Apply through Liverpool council’s coordinated admissions.
