This School Guide heat map has been plotted using official pupil data taken from the last School Census collected by the Department for Education. It is a visualisation of where pupils lived at the time of the annual School Census.

Our heat maps use groups of postcodes, not individual postcodes, and have naturally soft edges. All pupils are included in the mapping (i.e. children with siblings already at the school, high priority pupils and selective and/or religious admissions) but we may have removed statistical ‘outliers’ with more remote postcodes that do not reflect majority admissions.

For some schools, the heat map may be a useful indicator of the catchment area but our heat maps are not the same as catchment area maps. Catchment area maps, published by the school or local authority, are based on geographical admissions criteria and show actual cut-off distances and pre-defined catchment areas for a single admission year.

This information is provided as a guide only. The criteria in which schools use to allocate places in the event that they are oversubscribed can and do vary between schools and over time. These criteria can include distance from the school and sometimes specific catchment areas but can also include, amongst others, priority for siblings, children of a particular faith or specific feeder schools. Living in an area where children have previously attended a school does not guarantee admission to the school in future years. Always check with the school’s own admission authority for the current admission arrangements.

3 steps to help parents gather catchment information for a school:

  1. Look at our school catchment area guide for more information on heat maps. They give a useful indicator of the general areas that admit pupils to the school. This visualisation is based on all attending pupils present at the time of the annual School Census.
  2. Use the link to the Local Authority Contact (above) to find catchment area information based on a single admission year. This is very important if you are considering applying to a school.
  3. On each school page, use the link to visit the school website and find information on individual school admissions criteria. Geographical criteria are only applied after pupils have been admitted on higher priority criteria such as Looked After Children, SEN, siblings, etc.

School Description

Acre Rigg Infant School is an extremely caring, inclusive and supportive place where all pupils can learn. Pupils were keen to tell the inspector that one of the best features of their school is their teachers. This view is backed up by parents and carers, who highly value the range of support provided by the school. One parent, echoing the views of many, wrote, ‘The highest compliment I can give is that I completely trust the staff at Acre Rigg with my children.’ Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils with SEND learn well. This is because of the targeted support teachers provide, both in the classroom and through small-group interventions. All pupils are given an exciting and challenging curriculum. Pupils are polite and very well behaved. Pupils told the inspector that behaviour is good in school, and the inspector agrees. Pupils know about bullying and describe it as repeated, unkind behaviour. They say that it rarely, if ever, happens at their school. Pupils trust their teachers to deal with it quickly if it were to happen. Staff make time to talk to pupils regularly, and this gives pupils the confidence to express any concerns.

"> Fantastic school. Staff approachable and security is great as the pupils have to press a button to enter and they all have printed name tags. It's my daughter's last year at this school and I feel it's the best choice I ever made. Thank you to all the great staff.
“My review of this excellent school”

"> I have nothing but good things to say about Acre Rigg Infants. My daughter has been going since she was in the nursery aged 3 – the teachers and staff are lovely. I went into school to get an insight into the day-to-day activities and was very impressed how calm every classroom actually was. I guess I imagined that lots of kids would be very noisy and all over the place, but the children were loving their lessons and they were all so well behaved. The school has a Gem reward system where the children work towards earning a Gem stone and, when they have earned 10, they get to add that Gem to there very own classroom tree. All the children love this and work very hard together to earn their class a new Gem stone. It's a fab way to keep the children focused on what is expected of the them in school. My little girl is coming on fantastically well with all her subjects and its all thanks to the amazing teachers and staff.
