    Area deprivationQuintile 3 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
    Estimated admission distance 3.09 mi Estimated
    URN141236
    Distance0.1 mi

    Suffolk 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.
