147 first preferences, 38 second, 63 third and 1 other admitted
Notes:
N/A indicates that it was not possible to consider any second or third preferences, because the school was filled by first preferences.
The first line of figures in each case reflects the position at the first stage of the admission process.
The figures in brackets give the breakdown of the places accepted at the beginning of the Autumn term of that year.
In all the years a small number of places become available to be reallocated. It was therefore, possible to satisfy further preferences.
