  Area deprivation	Quintile 1 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Published admission distance	0.61 mi (2025/26)
  URN	121417
  Distance	2.6 mi

  Published admission distance is a real figure from North Yorkshire 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.

Ermysted's Grammar School

  Area deprivation	Quintile 1 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Estimated admission distance	0.64 mi Estimated
  URN	121716
  Distance	2.4 mi

  North Yorkshire 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.
