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 flourish at Beaumont Hill Academy. A sense of community is part of everyday life for pupils and staff. Pupils enjoy coming here. Well-skilled leaders and staff provide high levels of support for pupils. Pupils recognise this. They know they have adults that look after them and help them learn. The school is nurturing and inclusive. Staff know pupils very well. This is seen in the positive and caring relationships between them. The school’s curriculum is ambitious. It is designed so that pupils are successful and well prepared for future success. Pupils work hard to achieve their best. They are motivated to do well. This is seen in pupils’ positive attitudes to learning and behaviour. The personal development offer is carefully organised to enrich pupils’ learning beyond the classroom. School visits to local history museums or to London to visit the Houses of Parliament, broaden pupils’ experiences. The student council actively work with fellow pupils and leaders to bring about positive change in school. Pupils are well prepared for adulthood through skills-based activities like the pupil led café. Parents and carers value the work of the school. They recognise the bespoke understanding the school has of its pupils. One parent reflected this as, ’The school has embraced my child for who they are.’
