  • “No cut-off” means every applicant was offered a place at the school or at a school they ranked higher, so places never ran out on distance.

  • Less predictable The distance cut-off has moved a lot from year to year (between 0.63 and 1.05 miles). Treat past cut-offs here with extra caution.

Questions about Concordia Academy

How far away do you need to live to get into Concordia Academy?

In 2026, the last place offered under the distance criterion went to a child living 1.115 km (0.69 miles) away. In the four years with a distance cut-off (2022, 2023, 2024 and 2026), it ranged from 1.014 km (0.63 miles) (2023) to 1.693 km (1.05 miles) (2024). In 2025, everyone who applied was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher. Cut-offs move each year with the number of applicants and siblings, so treat these as a guide to past years, not a promise.

Do siblings get priority at Concordia Academy?

Yes. Under the 2026 admission rules, children with a brother or sister at the school get priority after looked-after and previously looked-after children and children with a medical or social need, ahead of children admitted on distance. In 2026, 28 of the 90 places went to siblings. Check the school’s admission arrangements for who counts as a sibling.

Has everyone who applied to Concordia Academy been offered a place in past years?

In 2025, yes: everyone who applied to Concordia Academy was offered a place here or at a school they ranked higher. In 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2026, places ran out, so not everyone was offered a place.

How many applications does Concordia Academy get?

In 2026, Concordia Academy received 283 applications for 90 Reception places: about 3.1 applications for each place, counting all six preferences. Between 2022 and 2026, applications ranged from 231 to 283 a year. Families name several schools, so one child can count as an application at more than one school.

What are my chances of getting into Concordia Academy?

It depends mostly on how far away you live, unless you have a sibling at Concordia Academy or another priority. For a family applying on distance: living within 1.014 km (0.63 miles) would have got a place in all five years we have figures for, and living more than 1.693 km (1.05 miles) away, in one of them. This is what happened in past years, not a promise. Our Shortlist replays your own address against each year.

Is Concordia Academy oversubscribed?

Yes, in 2026 places ran out: the last place under the distance criterion went to a child living 1.115 km (0.69 miles) away. It had 283 applications for 90 places, counting every preference families named.
