Somerset 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.

Gender, language and ethnicity figures are from the same DfE school census as free school meal eligibility. Independent and private schools aren't included in this census, so won't show these rows.

No current overall grade, often means a recent inspection under Ofsted's newer ungraded report-card format, not that the school hasn't been visited.
