Straight-line distance only — not walking, driving, or an official catchment area.

Guide to school and area statistics
What the numbers on this page for EC1R mean. Area rows may still show (i) for data source and geography.

- Distance as the crow flies from your home postcode when you have entered one, otherwise from the middle of this district. Not walking or driving time.
- Walking, cycling and park-and-stride hints

- Free school meals
- Pupils eligible for free school meals. Often used as one indicator of economic disadvantage in the catchment. Useful context, not a comment on pupils or families.
