  Estimated admission distance	1.44 mi Estimated
  URN	137515

  Essex 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.

  Essex 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.

  Essex 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.
