  Published admission distance	2.99 mi (2025/26)
  URN	113809
  Distance	3.0 mi

  Published admission distance is a real figure from Dorset 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.

Beaminster School

Voluntary controlled school · 0.9 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	Christian
  Admissions policy	Non-selective
  Local authority	Dorset
  Head teacher	Mr Keith Hales
  Address	Newtown, Beaminster, Dorset
  Phone	01308862633

  Area deprivation	Quintile 2 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Estimated admission distance	2.05 mi Estimated
  URN	113884
  Distance	0.9 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.
