Report cards, no single grade

Catchment and last distance offered
Full schools rank by rules: children in care, often siblings, then distance. The last distance offered changes every year: a hint, not a place.
Read more: Catchment and last distance offered - Admissions
Faith criteria
A full faith school may put families of its faith first, often with a form and a reference of worship. Read its own rules.

Appeals and waiting lists
Refused a place? Join the waiting list and appeal to an independent panel. Infant classes are capped at 30, so those appeals rarely win.
Read more: Appeals and waiting lists - Key dates

What a top list means here
One published measure, one phase, London state schools, latest year. A rank says nothing about fit or admissions.
