  Estimated admission distance	0.94 mi Estimated

  Distance	2.0 mi

  Cambridgeshire 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.

Ely St John's Community Primary School

• 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	Cambridgeshire
  Head teacher	Mr Christopher John Henson
  Address	St John's Road, Ely, Cambridgeshire

  Area deprivation	Quintile 1 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Published admission distance	2.06 mi (2026/27)
  URN	110773
  Distance	1.2 mi

  Published admission distance is a real figure from Cambridgeshire 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.
