Little Bowden School

Community school · 1.1 mi

• Details Mixed +

  Phase	Primary
  Type	Community school
  Age range	5–11
  Gender	Mixed
  Sixth form	Does not have a sixth form
  Religious character	No religious character
  Admissions policy	Not applicable
  Local authority	Leicestershire
  Head teacher	Mr Brendan Brannigan

  Phone	01858462528

  Area deprivation	Quintile 2 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Estimated admission distance	0.78 mi Estimated
  URN	119936
  Distance	1.1 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.
