Grammar School Distance Calculator

Where are you measuring from?

A postcode, or an address ending in one. The postcode is what gets matched — house numbers are not resolved, because no free UK geocoder does that reliably.

⚠ How accurate is this?

This is straight-line (crow-fly) distance. It is not a walking or driving route, and will read shorter than either.
Each school is measured to the centroid of its postcode, which is within roughly 100–200 m of the site, not to the exact point a school measures from.
A postcode you type locates the street, not the house. For a specific address, drop a pin or enter coordinates.
Admissions authorities use their own measurement — often the council’s own mapping, sometimes a walking route, sometimes a defined school point. Figures here will not match theirs exactly.
Do not rely on this for an application. Treat it as a guide for drawing up a shortlist, then check the school’s admissions policy and your council’s official distance checker.
