How far offers reached

Can we get in?

How far offers reached

Each bar shows how far from Colyton Grammar School the last child offered a place lived, under the last admission rule the offers reached. Up to five years, on one scale.

Qualifying is not the same as being offered a place.

Reaching the school's standard means your child can be considered. If more children qualify than there are places, the school gives places using its admission rules, in order. The figures below show how far those rules reached in past years. They are history, not a prediction: they change every year with who applies.

No distance figures publishedWe have not found a checked figure for how far offers reached at Colyton Grammar School. We add each year's figures after National Offer Day, when the council or school publishes them.

Applications and offers, September 2026 entry (Department for Education)

How many families applied to Colyton Grammar School and how many places it offered. Applicants per place is all applications divided by offers. Families apply to several schools and not every applicant qualifies, so it is not the chance of a place.

About these figures

Colyton publishes anonymised score tables, but the server refused our capture tool for those files too, so we have no past scores to show. It also ran a second round of testing for September 2026 entry.
