    Published admission distance is a real figure from Sefton 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.

    Sefton 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.

    Sefton 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.
