Your request
At the below link you very helpfully set out maximum distance (metres) in a straight line for pupils admitted to Lambeth primary schools for 2021/22 reception classes: - https://beta.lambeth.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2021-04/nod-rec21-how-offerswere-made-community-schools.pdf And you have also helpfully published corresponding information for 2020/21.
- Please could you provide the maximum distance (metres) for pupils admitted to reception classes at these two schools: Henry Cavendish Primary School (Balham site) and Telferscot School; for the following years: - 2019/20 - 2018/19 - 2017/18 - 2016/17 - 2015/16
- And please could you confirm that those distances (the final column in the link above) refer to the maximum/ last distance to the home of pupils admitted under the distance criterion only, rather than under all of the criteria (e.g. including siblings)?
Our response
- All distances are straight-line in metres for National Offer Day (April for the round - as that is when such data is collected) and relate to the last child offered a place with a ‘distance’ criterion.
