Thurleigh Primary School

Foundation school · 2.1 mi

Ofsted-rated Good.

• Details Mixed +

  Phase	Primary
  Type	Foundation school
  Age range	3–11
  Gender	Mixed
  Sixth form	Does not have a sixth form
  Religious character	No religious character
  Admissions policy	Not applicable
  Local authority	Bedford
  Head teacher	Ms Debonair Brown
  Address	High Street, Thurleigh, Bedford, Bedfordshire
  Phone	01234771252
  Website	www.thurleighprimary.uk
  Area deprivation	Quintile 2 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Estimated admission distance	1.47 mi Estimated
  URN	109486
  Distance	2.1 mi

  Bedford 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.
