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. Since your appointment in September 2018, you have taken effective action to move the school forward. You have carried out thorough self-evaluation. Consequently, you have put detailed plans in place to address the issues that were identified during the previous inspection and, in addition, others that you have identified. Your monitoring of teaching and learning across the school has enabled you to identify areas of expertise in your staff. You have used this knowledge to create a new senior leadership team which is supporting you to make improvements. Senior and middle leaders now have a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities. You are supporting them, so that as their expertise and confidence grows, they will have a greater influence on teaching and learning across the school. However, it is too early to judge the impact that this will have on pupil outcomes. You have made many improvements to the learning environment over the last term. Some changes have been structural, such as removing a wall to make the hall bigger and removing a fence to give all early years children access to the same outdoor space. Resources have been sorted and organised and new displays have been created. These changes have been welcomed by staff and pupils and have already had a positive impact on attitudes to learning. You recognise that outcomes for disadvantaged pupils are below those for their peers, both across the school and nationally, and recently commissioned a pupil premium review. You are eagerly awaiting the report and are keen to use the recommendations of this review to put plans in place to improve outcomes for disadvantaged pupils. Leaders are acting quickly to address issues in the early years which were identified from analysis of 2018 outcomes. Changes have been made to increase the engagement of boys in writing and to increase opportunities for all children to develop communication and language skills. Objective-led activities allow children to gain knowledge, skills and understanding by exploring their own interests. Pupils are well behaved and well mannered in lessons and around school. They talk with enthusiasm about the different subjects and topics that they have studied. Year 1 and 2 pupils were keen to tell me about their cinema trip to see ‘Peter Rabbit’. Pupils value the help and support that they are given by adults in school. They also told me that three pupils in Year 2 act as E-safety Power Cadets and help others to stay safe online. Parents and carers speak positively about the work of the school. They are happy with the changes that you are making. They especially appreciate the improvements that you have made to the school building. All the parents and carers that responded to Ofsted’s online survey, Parent View, and those whom I met informally at the start of the school day, believe that their children are well taught and make good progress. They say that they receive lots of information from school and find the recently introduced message system useful. Governors know the school well. They could explain how they gain knowledge about the strengths and weaknesses in different areas of the school from published data, reports from school leaders and from visits to school. They went on to explain how they use this knowledge to provide leaders with appropriate support and challenge. For example, they challenged the school to improve its curriculum coverage when the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standards in reading, writing and mathematics in Year 2 was below the national average in 2016. Safeguarding is effective. Leaders and governors ensure that safeguarding policies and procedures are fit for purpose. The culture of safeguarding is strong. Staff and governors are well trained, receive regular updates and fully understand that safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility. Although incidents are rare, all concerns are logged and, where appropriate, actions are taken in a timely manner. Pupils say that they feel safe in school and that their school does not have bullies. They are confident that, if they have any concerns, adults will listen to them and offer support. Pupils talked positively about times when they have made worries disappear by writing them down and feeding them to the ‘Worry Monster’. Parents say that they know their children are safe and well cared for in school. Although concerns about behaviour are very rare, parents are confident that the school will take appropriate action if it was necessary. Many parents praise the work the school does to support pupils. One parent wrote that their daughter was ‘a rabbit in headlights’ when she started school but is now ‘a very chatty, confident little girl’. Inspection findings Leaders have successfully addressed the areas for improvement identified at the last inspection. The most able pupils are sufficiently challenged by being given demanding tasks and bespoke questions. This has resulted in the proportion of pupils achieving greater depth at the end of key stage 1 being above the national average in 2018. Since the last inspection, staff have continually developed their skills and classroom practice. This has resulted in improved pupil attainment. For example, the proportion of pupils meeting the expected standard in the Year 1 phonics screening check was above the national average in 2018. Work on strengthening pupils’ understanding about how to stay safe when using the internet has been thorough. Each year group has a bespoke set of internet rules and all pupils are expected to follow the whole-school code of conduct. Pupils can confidently talk about work they have done on internet safety in class and in assemblies and now know how to keep themselves safe online. Leaders are taking effective action to support disadvantaged pupils. The school has acted to raise the profile of disadvantaged pupils and has changed the way that teaching assistants are deployed across the school. These actions have resulted in pupils receiving appropriate support. However, although outcomes for disadvantaged pupils are improving, their attainment still lags behind that of their peers in school and nationally. Attainment over time, by the end of key stage 1, has improved. The proportions of pupils in Year 2 reaching the expected standards and the greater-depth standards in reading, writing and mathematics have been at, or above, the national averages for two years. Although the proportion of pupils meeting the expected standard in the Year 1 phonics screening check fell below the national average in 2017, it was above in 2016 and 2018. The proportions of children reaching a good level of development at the end of Reception fell below the national average in 2018. The topic-based curriculum engages pupils effectively in their learning. Pupils are involved in planning their learning by creating questions which they then seek to answer. This approach is contributing to the development of resilient, independent learners who make progress in every subject area. Nevertheless, pupils would benefit from more opportunities to apply basic skills across the curriculum to support the development of problem-solving and vocabulary development. Leaders are taking appropriate actions to reduce absence and persistent absence.
