Adds the cut-off distance a parent actually asks about — "how close do we
need to live?" — end to end: a Singer tap, dbt staging and mart models, an
Airflow DAG, and a tile on both detail templates. 3,597 schools across 57
local authorities carry a figure; the rest are unchanged.
There is no national source for this. Each LA publishes its own cut-offs in
its own format, and the collected CSV is transcribed from PDFs, spreadsheets
and web pages — so most of the work here is deciding what is safe to show.
Data
* tap-uk-school-distance loads the CSV verbatim into raw. Keyed on
(urn, year, school_name), because school_name carries the admission
route: (urn, year) alone collides on 118 keys and a reload would have
silently dropped every band but one.
* stg_school_distance applies a 25 m – 25 km plausibility band. The source
contains 0.0-mile rows (published where a school filled on a higher
criterion), 1-metre cut-offs, and one reading 533 miles — ~4% of rows,
all of which would put a visibly wrong number on a live page.
* fact_admission_distance collapses routes to one row per school per year
using the furthest, and keeps route_count so the page can say the figure
is the widest of several bands rather than the one for a given child.
Serving
* Kept out of fact_admissions: that mart is EES-derived and near-complete
for England, this one covers 57 LAs, and the two refresh independently.
* Latest year only. Coverage is ragged — a school may have 2021 and 2026
and nothing between — so a history array would invite a trend line drawn
through gaps that are absences of publication, not of a cut-off.
* The Admissions section now renders on either source. 3% of the schools
that render have a cut-off and no EES admissions row, and gating on
admissions alone would have hidden the figure on those pages.
Interface
* The year travels with the figure everywhere it appears; a cut-off
detached from its admissions round is not a fact about anything.
* "Not a fixed catchment — it moves every year" sits under every instance,
because that is the inference a parent will otherwise draw.
* Replaces a hardcoded "Historical distance cut-off data is not available
for this school" that appeared on every secondary page, including the
ones whose council does publish it. The absence is now stated only when
it is real, and names the authority that would hold it.
The tint costs the muted tokens their AA margin: measured on the composited
backdrop (not the computed one, which reports the untinted card), --text-muted
falls to 4.09:1 in dark theme. The tile uses --text-secondary instead — 6.50:1
dark, 6.60:1 light.
The DAG is manual, like the other annual ones: councils publish on allocation
day, each on its own timetable, so there is no date worth scheduling against.

Replace the header's at-a-glance stats row with a location map that sits
atop the hero and blends into the school title. The map is a static,
non-interactive preview (never traps page scroll) with a coral pin; the
whole band — or the inline "View on map ↗" link by the address — opens a
fullscreen, interactive map. Compare floats glassy over the band.
The separate "Location" section (and its nav item) is removed; the map now
lives only in the hero. Schools without lat/long render the header with no
map band, as before.
New: SchoolHeroMap (fullscreen wrapper, forwardRef open handle) +
LeafletHeroMapInner (minimal single-school map with interaction toggle).
Applied to both primary and secondary detail views; dead heroStats/tone/
mapContainer CSS removed (shared .heroStat* card classes kept).
Also drops the orphaned "Latest data" note and does not reintroduce an
Ofsted strip in the hero (it would duplicate the Ofsted section directly
below). Mockup kept at mockups/header-map-hero.html.

A first-choice offer rate sitting on the y-max ceiling (100%) was drawn
flush against the top of the plot area, clipping the point marker. Add 8px
top layout padding and clip:false so ceiling values render in full, without
introducing a misleading >100% tick.

The hand-rolled SVG sparkline used px font sizes inside a 520-wide viewBox
that stretched to the full card width, so labels ballooned ~4x and collided —
and with 10+ years of real data the per-point labels and year ticks
overlapped badly, while the oversized chart stretched the "this year" view.
Replace it with a Chart.js line chart (AdmissionsTrendChart) in a fixed
200px wrapper, matching PerformanceChart: responsive px fonts, auto-skipping
x ticks, auto-scaled y-axis clamped to 0-100, emphasised latest point.

The school detail page only showed the latest admissions year. We store
every year, which is more decision-relevant for parents (the trend and its
consistency matter more than a single noisy year).
Backend now returns the full admissions_history (oldest first) alongside the
existing latest-year object. The primary SchoolDetailView gains a header
toggle ("This year | N-year trend") that swaps the Q&A for an SVG sparkline
of the first-choice offer rate. The toggle only appears when >=2 years carry
an offer rate; otherwise it falls back to the single-year card. Both views
share one CSS-grid cell so switching causes no layout shift.
