"We measured all distances in metres using a straight line from a point in the applicant's home to a point in the school premises using the ordinance survey [sic; Ordnance Survey]." (published footnote, both secondary and primary pages). The 2021 primary edition additionally describes this school-end point as "a nodal point within the school premises" -- i.e. a fixed reference point inside the school grounds used for GIS measurement, not a nodal point away from the school of the kind some other councils use for certain faith schools.
