The Blandford School

Voluntary controlled school · 0.6 mi

Ofsted-rated Good.

• Details Mixed +

  Phase	Secondary
  Type	Voluntary controlled school
  Age range	11–18
  Gender	Mixed
  Sixth form	Has a sixth form
  Religious character	No religious character
  Admissions policy	Non-selective

  Phone	01258451121
  Website	http://www.blandfordschool.org.uk
  Area deprivation	Quintile 2 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Estimated admission distance	1.51 mi Estimated
  URN	113888
  Distance	0.6 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.
