Area deprivation	Quintile 4 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
Estimated admission distance	0.35 mi Estimated
URN	141469
Distance	1.3 mi

Leicestershire 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.
