Distance	2.1 mi

Cheshire West and Chester 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.

The County High School, Leftwich

Gender	Mixed
Sixth form	Does not have a sixth form
Religious character	No religious character

Area deprivation	Quintile 2 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
Published admission distance	579.2 mi (2025/26)
URN	138743
Distance	1.2 mi

Published admission distance is a real figure from Cheshire West and Chester 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.
