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

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. You and your team welcome pupils from a wide range of backgrounds into an inclusive school community, where you provide them with a rich and stimulating curriculum. Staff place pupils’ emotional well-being at the core of their work. The atmosphere in school is calm and respectful. You accomplish the school’s aim of providing a ‘stimulating, caring and safe environment where children strive for success’. You and your team have taken effective action to address the areas for improvement from the previous inspection. Strong links have been established between governors and subject leaders. Governors monitor progress in all subjects effectively. Pupils’ progress in learning continues to improve because of improvements you and your leadership team have made to the quality of teaching. You place as much importance on the learning of staff as you do on the learning of pupils. Consequently, newly qualified teachers and more experienced staff are constantly improving their teaching. You have improved standards in the early years. The proportion of children reaching a good level of development at the end of Reception has risen since 2014. This is a result of the work done in both the Nursery and Reception classes to develop pupils’ language and communication skills. Children get a good start to their education and your careful planning of the curriculum in key stage 1 ensures that they continue to flourish. Your priorities for school improvement are sharply focused on analysis of pupils’ outcomes. Following a dip in reading outcomes in 2016, you identified the need for more pupils in key stage 2 to reach the expected standard in reading. The current whole-school approach to reading is having a positive impact. However, you and I agree that reading comprehension for lower-attaining pupils should be improved. You were concerned about outcomes in key stage 1 in 2016 and recognised a weakness in the rate of progress of the middle-ability disadvantaged pupils. You responded immediately to address this issue and, as a result of your prompt action, middle-ability pupils are now making good progress. Pupils are increasingly successful in phonics, as shown by the proportion achieving success in the Year 1 check. Most of these pupils go on to make good progress in reading. There is, however, still more work to be done to enable all pupils in key stage 1 to make faster progress in their writing. The strong focus which your teachers place on developing mathematical thinking is enabling pupils to reach higher standards. Behaviour is good around the school in lessons and at playtimes. The few pupils with challenging behaviour are supported very well by your highly skilled staff, who ensure that learning is sustained. Parents value the communication they receive from you by text and email. They say that they appreciate the ‘consistent behaviour management’ and the focus you and your staff place on ‘behaving the right way’. Safeguarding is effective. Your staff and governors are committed to keeping pupils safe in a highly nurturing environment. Your pupils say they feel safe and they know how to keep themselves safe, including when online. Your staff are ever vigilant and are trained to a high level in all aspects of safeguarding. Your safeguarding team ensures that procedures are implemented rigorously. The children and families team works closely with parents and other agencies to ensure that pupils receive the best care possible. Thorough checks are made when appointing new staff, governors and volunteers. Consequently, all safeguarding arrangements are fit for purpose and records are detailed and of a high quality. Inspection findings Governance continues to be effective. The new governing body has high expectations of both staff and pupils. Governors are ambitious for the school and rightly have confidence in you and your leadership team to continue to deliver improvements. Governors receive good-quality information about the work of the school and pupils’ outcomes, so they clearly understand what the school does well and what it needs to do to further improve.
