School catchment distances are not always measured from the school's postcode or map pin. Some schools measure from the school gates, others from the main entrance, a specific published measuring point, or the centre of the school building. Always check Gillingham School's published admissions policy or contact Dorset Council directly to confirm the exact measuring point before relying on any distance calculation.
This school is likely to use straight-line distance from home to school as its oversubscription criterion, making our catchment checker directly applicable. Always verify the exact measuring point with the school or local authority.
