Van Gogh Primary admissions: how far away places were offered

Reception offers at Van Gogh Primary, year by year

• “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.
• The number of Reception places changed from 60 to 30 in 2025, so earlier years are less comparable.
