This pupil heat map shows where pupils currently attending the school live.
The concentration of pupils shows likelihood of admission based on distance criteria

Source: All attending pupils National School Census Data, ONS

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.

“Overpriced school uniforms”

unlock
"> I am no longer a parent of a school-age child but do have a deal to do with several school-agers, some of whom will be starting at Archbishop Holgate's this September. There has been much publicity about the cost of school uniforms. I have been spoken to by parents about this and am surprised they have had to pay such large sums out for items of clothing which incorporate the school logo. I queried as to why they didn't buy the stitch-on logo badge and am astounded to learn that this school doesn't provide/sell them, thus making every term or outgrown article very expensive to replace. Many of these parents are not 'disadvantaged' and/or receiving external financial help. They are just 'managing' on their earnings and being able to save any little amount of money is essential for them. Surely any help that can be given to financially overstretched parents should be given and a small gesture would be to ensure they could purchase a logo badge. Please note: this is not a criticism of the school as I understand the education of the pupils is excellent and I give a four star rating, because nothing is perfect.
