Use the Pupil Selection Filter panel below to filter the most recent years () STHC Proximity & Pupil Choice Analysis results and visualise and quantify how many eligible pupils are "leaking away" from the selected schools' "doorstep". This data is derived by analysing all  pupils against 5 specific criteria:-

• whether they are eligible to attend the school (based on their national curriculum year)
• whether they are currently on the role of the selected school or not
• whether they live within a reasonable walking distance (the "walk threshold") of the selected school
• whether the selected school is their nearest
• whether they live within a the "walk threshold" of their nearest school

These criteria are used as, though there will probably be some eligible pupils living within the walk threshold of the school but not going there, they may well have other schools to choose from on their doorstep which, from a sustainable travel point of view, are an equally valid choice. By drilling down through the "Quick Select" options below, you will gradually weed out these pupils to leave only eligible pupils for whom the school is their nearest choice, who live within walk threshold but they are going to schools elsewhere. Once you are familiar with the concepts you can manually set each of the data parameters to see how they affect the pupil numbers in the "Manual Select (Advanced)" tab.

Creation of this analysis dataset does not require Pupil Usual Mode of Travel data as the pupil location is part of core National School Census data. However if travel mode data is available for the selected school, there is also the ability to use it to further filter the pupils.
