Not sure if there is an official link to find distance/catchment for schools
I found this site
https://www.daftlogic.com/projects-goog ... ulator.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
put your post code then school post code, it tells straight line distance in miles/km.
if there is any other tool please update.
Thanks

When I login to Surrey's School Admissions site - to apply for a school place - I get this link to check distance.
http://map.lgfl.org.uk/eAdmissions/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
It allows you to measure distance with schools not only within Surrey, but with surrounding schools as well.

Ignore this map as it has changed from last time I used it (as far as I remember). It says: The map shows the approximate locations of schools. It cannot be used to work out the distance you live from a school.

If you can use Google maps on a computer/laptop inside a browser:
> Right click on your home & click 'Measure Distance'
> Then click on the school to get a straight-line distance.
