For a home postcode, list nearby state schools with the straight-line distance from the postcode centre, the last distance offered in each of the last three years (council allocation figures) and a reading of the chances: Likely at 80% of the last distance or less, Possible up to 110%, Stretch beyond it. Faith and selective schools are capped at Possible because other rules decide places.
