*The total number of admissions applications received relates to all applications received by a school at any preference – i.e. not just first preference applications. As a result, totalling the number of applications in the column does not equate to the number of individual applicants.
**These figures do not include children with a statement of special educational needs, who do not apply for a school place through the competitive admissions process.
