Cut-off distances are published by Birmingham for 2024 entry and record where the last child admitted lived that year. They are not catchment boundaries and not a guarantee of a place: the distance moves each year with the number of applicants and siblings, and some schools admit everyone who applies. Always check the school's own admissions arrangements.
Applications per place is first-preference demand from the DfE admissions data for the year shown. It indicates competition, not a catchment boundary or a guarantee of a place.
