  Published admission distance	6.96 mi (2025/26)
  URN	113882
  Distance	1.0 mi

  Published admission distance is a real figure from Dorset 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.

  Area deprivation	Quintile 1 of 5 (1 = most deprived fifth nationally)
  Estimated admission distance	1.19 mi Estimated
  URN	150216
  Distance	1.4 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.
