Nearest school: Langford Village Community Primary School (Primary), 0.13 miles in a straight line. There are 4 open schools within one mile and 16 within two.
Straight-line distances to open schools in the DfE Get Information About Schools register, shown as objective context. In 2026 the government said asylum accommodation should not be sited close to schools and nurseries; that guidance names no official distance, so these figures are not a measure against any threshold.
