  Estimated admission distance	0.49 mi Estimated
  URN	142512
  Distance	1.6 mi

  Dorset 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.

Trinity Church of England First School

• Details Mixed +

  Phase	Primary
  Type	Academy converter
  Age range	4–9
  Gender	Mixed
  Sixth form	Does not have a sixth form
  Religious character	Church of England
  Admissions policy	Not applicable
  Trust	DIOCESE OF SALISBURY ACADEMY TRUST
  Local authority	Dorset
  Head teacher	Mr James Newbery
  Address	Coopers Lane, Verwood, Dorset
  Phone	01202821704
  Website	https://www.trinityverwood.dsat.org.uk/
  Area deprivation	Quintile 1 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Published admission distance	0.95 mi (2025/26)
  URN	148323
  Distance	0.7 mi

  Published admission distance is a real figure from Dorset 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.
