Years when some first choices missed out: 2022 (6), 2024 (18), 2025 (4), 2026 (5). 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 Wensum Trust sets the admissions rules. Apply through Norfolk council’s coordinated admissions.
