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.

School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection while simultaneously managing the significant expansion of the school. One parent commented: ‘This school is a fantastic school with great leadership from the head and dynamic creative teachers. A large range of extra-curricular activities and events are held by the school which are hugely beneficial to the children. We love Bradshaw Hall!’ Pupils behave well, attend regularly and show respect for each other. Pupils are incredibly enthusiastic about their school and eager to talk about their achievements. You have strengthened your leadership team and this is paying dividends. In Nursery, Reception Year and key stage 1, standards are high due to highly motivated leaders who have high expectations. The most able children are particularly well catered for in Reception Year as teachers swiftly move them on to the Year 1 curriculum. Consequently, a higher than average proportion achieve a good level of development at the end of Reception Year and children hit the ground running in Year 1. You have a team of very committed governors boasting a range of expertise and skills. They know the school very well and offer a healthy balance of challenge and support to you and your team. You and your leadership team aim to create ‘successful, confident and responsible’ learners. Pupils benefit from a rich curriculum, including outdoor learning, music and sport. Pupils learn yoga, lacrosse, football and rugby and many pupils take advantage of peripatetic music lessons. You place great value on reading for pleasure and pupils readily showcase their strong skills of inference and deduction in the ‘discovery curriculum’. The school is host to 15 pupils from across the authority who have specific learning difficulties, in your speech and language centre. The centre is a bright and engaging learning environment. Pupils follow the school curriculum and work in books shows very good attention to pupils’ individual needs, high expectations and great care. Standards in English, punctuation, spelling and grammar are good. Pupils write to a high standard and teachers’ meticulous use of the school’s marking scheme ensures that any misspelt words are quickly identified and corrected. Disadvantaged pupils’ progress has improved significantly from last year. Their attendance is much closer to the national average and persistent absence is reduced. Pupil premium funding is used well to offer an enriched curriculum and to provide for educational visits, peripatetic music lessons and small-group teaching. Achievement in mathematics is improving and tracking shows that pupils in Year 6, including disadvantaged pupils, are achieving standards above the national average. However, these standards are not replicated throughout key stage 2. The standard of work and presentation in key stage 2 mathematics books is not good enough. Calculations are poorly presented so it is difficult to see mistakes and sometimes incorrect work is marked as correct. Pupils do not receive feedback in line with the school’s marking policy as they do in English. At the last inspection, you were asked to improve the quality of teaching, questioning and marking. The school has made significant progress in all these areas. Now, pupils typically make good progress in lessons but occasionally progress of the most able pupils is restricted. This is because their learning starts at the same point as the rest of the class even though their knowledge, skills and understanding are way ahead. You receive very good support from your school improvement partner, whose incisive reports clearly tell you and your team the strengths and weaknesses of provision. Safeguarding is effective. The single central record meets requirements. All staff have regular child protection training, including welfare staff. You regularly update child protection training and use case studies with staff to exemplify good practice. Child protection records are kept securely. You keep appropriate records of child protection concerns and open cases and work effectively with relevant agencies. You hold a weekly meeting for all relevant staff to share information about child protection cases with a focus upon behaviour and attendance. Pupils say that they feel safe and enjoy coming to school.
