Ofsted-rated Good.

• Details Mixed +

  Phase	Secondary
  Type	Academy converter
  Age range	11–18
  Gender	Mixed
  Sixth form	Has a sixth form
  Religious character	Church of England
  Admissions policy	Non-selective

  Head teacher	Mrs Stephanie Bowen
  Address	Salisbury Road, Shaftesbury, Dorset
  Phone	01747854498

  Area deprivation	Quintile 2 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Estimated admission distance	1.71 mi Estimated
  URN	140898
  Distance	0.3 mi

  Dorset 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.
