  Published admission distance	2.37 mi (varies)
  URN	114074
  Distance	1.8 mi

  Published admission distance is a real figure from County Durham 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.

  Estimated admission distance	0.49 mi Estimated
  URN	114091
  Distance	0.6 mi

  County Durham 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.

  Area deprivation	Quintile 4 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Published admission distance	1.4 mi (varies)
  URN	138557
  Distance	1.5 mi

  Published admission distance is a real figure from County Durham 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.

  Estimated admission distance	2.07 mi Estimated
  URN	145253
  Distance	1.6 mi

  County Durham 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.
