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 are happy at Broomfield South SILC. They greet staff and visitors with a warm welcome. They are keen to share their views on life in school. Pupils are kind to one another. Staff help pupils to express their emotions. As a result, pupils feel safe and behave well. All pupils on roll have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff know pupils well and understand their specific needs. They form strong, positive relationships with pupils. Pupils trust the adults who work with them. They have numerous adults they will go to if they need to report a concern, such as bullying. Pupils say that bullying rarely happens, but if it did, that staff would deal with it immediately. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils. They develop pupils’ independence through the curriculum and a range of learning opportunities. This starts from the moment pupils join school, when they are given class responsibilities, such as washing up and handing out equipment. As pupils move through school, their responsibilities increase, such as becoming reading ambassadors. Pupils enjoy their weekly visits to a local café, where they practise ordering food and spending money. This helps them to practise what they have learned and to develop their social skills. Leaders ensure that pupils learn about life in modern Britain across the curriculum. Pupils know about concepts such as democracy and citizenship. Pupils enjoy visiting places of interest in their local community, such as farms and museums.
