Somerford Primary School

Community school · 0.6 mi

Ofsted-rated Good.

Details Mixed +

Phase	Primary
Type	Community school
Age range	4–11
Gender	Mixed
Sixth form	Does not have a sixth form
Religious character	No religious character
Admissions policy	Not applicable
Local authority	Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole
Head teacher	Mrs Helen Frampton
Address	Draper Road, Christchurch, Dorset

Area deprivation	Quintile 4 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
Estimated admission distance	0.24 mi Estimated
URN	113736
Distance	0.6 mi

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole 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.
