St Paul's Church of England VC Junior School

Voluntary controlled school · 1.3 mi

Ofsted-rated Good.

• Details Mixed +

  Phase	Primary
  Type	Voluntary controlled school
  Age range	7–11
  Gender	Mixed
  Sixth form	Does not have a sixth form
  Religious character	Church of England
  Admissions policy	Not applicable
  Local authority	Somerset
  Head teacher	Mrs Caroline Owen
  Address	Paul Street, Shepton Mallet, Somerset
  Phone	01749343250
  Website	www.stpaulsjuniorsomerset.org.uk
  Area deprivation	Quintile 3 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Estimated admission distance	0.32 mi Estimated
  URN	123783
  Distance	1.3 mi

  Somerset hasn't published a real admission-distance figure, so this is a modelled estimate instead, built from local Census population density for this school's age group versus its intake size, the same class of technique other school-search sites use as their default catchment indicator when no official figure exists. Not based on real pupil addresses (nobody outside the school/council has access to that), and meaningfully less reliable than a published figure.

  Published admission distance	0.68 mi (2025/26)
  URN	123672
  Distance	1.9 mi

  Published admission distance is a real figure from Somerset council's own published records: how far the furthest-admitted pupil lived last year under the distance criterion. Drawn as a circle for simplicity, since real admission areas aren't circular, but the distance itself isn't modelled or guessed. It shifts every year with demand and isn't a guarantee.
