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

Pupils access an exceptional education at this school. The school aims incredibly high for what it wants pupils to achieve, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils meet these expectations, as shown in the remarkable outcomes they secure in external assessments. The school has established its own ‘Franklin culture’ that appreciates pupils for their successes and builds their character to respect one another regardless of background. In assembly, for example, pupils in Year 2 proudly nominate peers who have helped them and deserve recognition. Pupils flourish at this school because of the drive to equip them with the life experiences they need. Of particular note is the school’s sporting offer. Boys and girls represent the school and celebrate their triumphs in football, netball and athletics. Starting from the early years, pupils know the behaviour routines and standards of the school. Pupils share that this is a ‘zero bullying school’ and that they are kept safe, with a trusted adult they can turn to if needed. The focus of pupils in lessons is exemplary and they treat each other with courtesy and the highest respect. This is a result of the warmth with which staff care for pupils.
