    Distance0.7 mi

    Published admission distance is a real figure from Hertfordshire 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.
