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 belief that all pupils can develop the skills and confidence to become ‘influential women of the future’ is threaded through every aspect of school life. Staff and pupils share this ambition. Expectations are high. Pupils live the school’s values of respect, readiness to learn and resilience. Classrooms are places where pupils can be curious, questioning and unafraid to make mistakes. Pupils willingly work hard, do not give up and actively support each other so that everyone can flourish. Pupils value the many opportunities to widen their experience of the world. They participate fully in the extensive extra-curricular programme. The ‘memorable experiences’ days allow all pupils to try new things and develop new interests. Pupils work to improve the lives of others. They raise thousands of pounds every year for local and international causes. Pupils have no concerns about bullying. They show considerable maturity when talking about people’s differences and how, in school, they are accepted for who they are. Pupils are proud of their school. School council members could not think of one thing they would change. Pupils and teachers respect and value each other. Pupils told us that teachers go out of their way to offer help and support.
