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

This school has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The school’s expectations for pupils’ behaviour and achievement are extremely high. Pupils rise to meet these expectations. All pupils benefit from the aspirational curriculum, enriched with purposeful and relevant experiences. Staff are driven by a shared ambition for all pupils to be able to speak eloquently and become self-assured learners. The school’s values of ‘ambition, resilience and respect’ permeate all aspects of school life. Pupils behave exceptionally well in lessons and during social times. They demonstrate high levels of respect, kindness and empathy towards one another. Pupils display very positive attitudes to their learning. Pupils enjoy coming to school and attend well. They typically say, ‘nobody gets left behind’. They are encouraged to celebrate their own and others’ achievements, which helps them to grow in confidence. Pupils excel in their various leadership roles. They also love spending time with Phoebe, the much-loved dog, as well as Tango the tortoise and the chickens that live in the science garden. Pupils feel safe at school. Incidents of bullying are rare and dealt with quickly. Pupils are very knowledgeable about risks to their safety when online. They know when and how to seek help if they feel worried or upset.
